Fire sprinklers:

• Save lives
• Reduce the risk of death
• If activated reduce property damage
• Are relatively inexpensive
• Typically reduce insurance premiums
• Are virtually maintenance free

A sprinkler system is a first class investment, returning a fair interest in insurance discounts long after the initial outlay has been recovered. Depreciation is reliable, as indeed it must be in equipment designed to remain unused, perhaps for many years, but installed to be effective when called upon to act in an emergency.

Installations erected over half a century ago still qualify for insurance discounts, and evidence of fires extinguished proves that they would be instantly effective today.

It must be remembered that sprinkler installations are considered as a plant by the Inland Revenue and qualify for investment, initial and depreciation allowances currently in force. But perhaps their greatest investment value lies in the fact that they are in themselves an insurance policy designed to provide safety to life and continuity of business. No other form of fire protection can prevent a major fire which would result in loss of valued customers forced to place their business elsewhere.
