    Automatic sprinkler systems are the most reliable fixed fire extinguishing system. They control 70% of fires with five or fewer sprinklers activating and have never been reported to cause multiple deaths in a completely sprinklered building. There are two types of sprinkler coverage: complete, which protects the entire building, and partial, which protects only certain high hazard or code-required areas. Sprinkler systems must comply with NFPA 13 for installation standards and be listed by Factory Mutual or Underwriters Laboratories. Properly installed and maintained sprinkler systems enhance life safety by extinguishing fires in the incipient stage and limiting the production of toxic combustion gases.
