Sprinklers are one of the oldest methods, but one of the newest technologies in wildfire control and property fire protection in wind land areas. These outdoor units are not intended to put out a fire, but instead, they work in the following manner:

	Sprinklers are used to thoroughly wet down an area. This results in combustibles being much less likely to ignite due to flying embers and the intense heat of a nearby fire.
	The soaked landscape releases moisture into the air. This lowers the ambient temperature and increases the humidity level of the immediate area.
	Sprinklers are most effective when in continual operation for 2 or more hours prior to the arrival of the fire. However, any operational time, even as little as an hour, will increase chances of a successful defense of the property.

Helpful Tips:

	You may want to run the system to wet down fuels when fire conditions warrant it.
	Your chimney should be capped to prevent water damage.

Potential Problems with Exterior Sprinkler Systems:

	Non-residents who wouldn’t be on site to activate the sprinkler system.
	Cold weather related – you must make sure the unit is properly drained to prevent freezing.
	Power outages and operating time for gas powered pumps.
