A fi re in a high-rise that is not  
protected with fi re sprinklers  
can quickly become dangerous for  
occupants and fi refi ghters. Due to today’s  
fast-burning synthetic furnishings that  
produce thick toxic smoke, fi res can become deadly in  
as little as two minutes.  
Fire sprinklers are activated by heat from a fi re.  
Only the sprinkler closest to the fi re activates, which  
prevents the fi re from spreading, thereby protecting  
your investment and allowing occupants to escape and  
fi refi ghters to respond. 
If your building is not protected with fi re sprinklers,  
consider retrofi tting today to ensure it has the greatest  
fi re protection. If your building is protected, make  
sure the system is properly inspected, tested, and  
maintained (ITM) by a licensed fi re sprinkler contractor. 
Make sure your high-rise is not high risk for fi res.  
Protect it with fi re sprinklers.
