If your fire sprinkler system and/or fire pump controls are in a exterior wall sprinkler riser room and/or fire pump room, ensure that the heater in the fire sprinkler riser room and/or fire pump room is functioning properly. Also, ensure that all entry vestibules that have sprinkler protection are receiving plenty of heat.
If the water based fire protection equipment is exposed to these record breaking freezing temperatures, the water inside these fire protection systems will freeze and as the ice expands, it will increases the internal water pressure in the pipe and cause the pipe to burst. Broken fire sprinkler pipes and fire protection equipment will leave you without fire protection and could cause large amounts of water damage. Prevention is always the best solution. If we can help you in anyway with your fire protection equipment and/or systems during this upcoming cold snap please call us at 800-598-3400 or visit us at
