Residential Fire Protection Projects
VFP Fire Systems has been a leader in the design and installation of all types of residential fire sprinkler systems. We have installed sprinkler systems in lake cabins, single family homes, apartment buildings, dormitories, hotels and high rise condominiums.
VFP has been at the forefront in promoting the education of home owners to the benefits of fire sprinkler protection for their dwellings.
"A home fire sprinkler system, when coupled with smoke alarms, can reduce the risk of death by fire in a home by 82%, while adding less than 1.5% to the total building cost of new construction."

Media
Pennsylvania has adopted the 2009 IRC / home sprinkler requirements. Builders are suing to stop it. Be sure to share it around our industry or with any of your customers. It is a great video on how residential sprinkler systems work.
