The purpose of a building’s fire sprinkler system is to extinguish or control fires quickly and prevent the spread of flames, heat, and smoke to other areas of the building. This helps to minimize damage and protect property and occupants from harm. The sprinkler system works by detecting a fire through heat, and then triggering a release of water to the affected area, which can quickly extinguish the flames or slow them down until firefighters arrive.
