and yes it does make fire insurance much cheaper . . . alot cheaper.
“Sprinklers could reduce the average cost of fire insurance by about $900 a year, from $1,500 to $600, said Chris Smith, a vice president of Fireman’s Fund, one of the state’s largest business-property insurers.”
“We’re a strong supporter of sprinklers. It’s lifesaving,” Smith said.
