Common Myths:
The water from sprinklers causes more damage than the fire. A quick release sprinkler uses as little as 8 gallons of water a minute - an industrial fire is usually controlled with just four sprinklers. In contrast, a Fire Brigade hose will use between 50 and 125 gallons of water a minute.
