While these systems are critical life-safety tools that can save lives and prevent catastrophic fire damage, they can sometimes activate when there’s no fire at all. Whether caused by mechanical failure, temperature swings, or human interference, knowing how to respond quickly can save you thousands of dollars in water damage and a major headache.

Whether it's a newly constructed high-rise, a retrofitted historic property, or a mixed-use tower, NFPA 13 governs the design and installation of fire sprinkler systems for new and renovated buildings.

This two-pronged approach including design and installation per NFPA 13, and maintenance per NFPA 25 — is critical to sustaining Downtown’s vertical growth, protecting residents and visitors, and keeping businesses open and operational.
