NFPA Standard 13D, developed in 1973, affects one- and two-family dwellings, manufactured homes and townhomes and aims to prevent flashover, or the explosive ignition of flammable gases released by burning materials in the home.
NFPA Standard 13R, developed in 1989, governs detection and control of fires in multifamily residential buildings and residential occupancies up through four stories in height. As a result, they are gradually adopting National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards that govern fire sprinkler installation. In recent years, however, state and local governments have increasingly come to recognize fire sprinkler systems’ value. This hesitance to incorporate fire sprinklers largely results from the cost, which ranges between one and two dollars per square foot for residential systems. Yet, historically, fewer than two percent of new homes include them. Residential fire sprinkler systems can save lives as well as prevent financial, physical and emotional damage. Fortunately, several steps in the design process, if undertaken early enough, can minimize the financial sacrifice.
