Why Are Sprinkler Systems Important in Nursing Facilities?
Nursing facilities house vulnerable populations, including elderly and disabled individuals who may have limited mobility. In the event of a fire, evacuation can be challenging and time-consuming. Sprinkler systems provide an immediate response to fire outbreaks, controlling or extinguishing fires before they can spread. This rapid action helps to protect patients, staff, and the facility itself, reducing the risk of injury or death.
