Fact: We've all watched the movies where the fire pull station is activated and every sprinkler head flows water in the building. This is a myth and is simply not true, fire sprinkler heads are individually activated by heat and flow water only to the areas affected by fires. Exception: There is however, a specialized deluge system that does flow water to all sprinkler heads simultaneously. This is used in high hazard areas such as power plants, aircraft hangars and chemical storage or processing facilities. These systems are never used in office buildings like Hollywood would like you to believe. #FirePreventionMonth #firesuppression #mythvsfact #themoreyouknow #silcofireandsecurity

Fact: This statement is not entirely true and can be dangerous depending on the type of fire. Different types of fires require different extinguishing methods, and using the wrong one can actually make the situation worse. Water is only effective for Class A fires involving materials like wood, paper, cloth, and some plastics. These are common in office or warehouse settings. Water is extremely dangerous for electrical fires as it can lead to electrocution or spread the fire further. In kitchens, especially with grease or oil fires, water can cause the oil to splash and spread the fire rapidly. Water can also react violently with some combustible metals, such as magnesium or sodium, potentially leading to explosions. Make sure your workplace is equipped with the right type of fire extinguisher for each potential hazard.
