Fire Safety

Fire safety for residents in Brooklyn, NY is something that has been embedded in our minds since we were children. We can all remember receiving a visitor from the fire department in our classrooms and going through the procedures of fire drills and fire safety tools that can be applied any time at any place.

Without sprinkler testing, we would be at risk if a fire was ignited, and the incredibly important for the protection of individuals in Brooklyn, NY.
Fire Sprinkler Testing

At Allstate Sprinkler, LLC, we perform 5-year hydrostatic pressure tests on a daily basis with Fire Department personnel. Our testing crews work on sprinkler and standpipe systems.

Five-year hydrostatic pressure tests are life-saving procedures. These tests simulate actual fire department events that take place during a fire. We perform these tests as accurately as we can in order to ensure that your sprinkler system will always be ready to take action in case of a fire.
Fire Department Sprinkler Testing Brooklyn

Consistent testing and inspection of fire sprinkler systems in Brooklyn and throughout New York City is mandated at regular intervals by the New York City Fire Department. These inspections save lives by focusing attention on areas that need improvement or remediation before being certified as safe and in good operating order.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a nonprofit organization established in 1896, in 2014 (the last year data was collected), there were 1,298,000 fires reported in the United States. These fires caused:

  • 3,275 civilian deaths
  • 15,775 civilian injuries

494,000 were structure fires, causing 2,860 civilian deaths, 13,425 civilian injuries, and $9.8 billion in property damage.

193,500 were vehicle fires, causing 345 civilian fire deaths, 1,450 civilian fire injuries, and $1.5 billion in property damage.

610,500 were outside and other fires, causing 70 civilian fire deaths, 900 civilian fire injuries, and $237 million in property damage.

In 2014, fire departments in the United States responded to a fire every 24 seconds. One structure fire was reported every 64 seconds.

A mechanical failure or malfunction was a factor contributing to the ignition of one in four structure fires (24%) in industrial or manufacturing properties, accounting for 23% of civilian injuries and 21% of direct property damage.
Fire sprinkler systems like sprinklers are the "first responders" to fire before the real first responders (your fire department personnel) can reach you. A fire sprinkler system is designed to buy time to allow complete evacuation of the site, keep the fire localized to where it began and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the structure, and preserve unaffected structures and inventory from damage or destruction by fire. In an urban environment like Brooklyn, where many structures are grouped close together, fire sprinkler systems can prevent a fire situation from burning out of control and involving other buildings and people.
