Fire sprinkler technology continues to evolve as we learn more about fire behavior and control. This training vignette, “Special Sprinklers,” describes fire protection devices that are intended for particular applications.
United States Fire Administration (USFA) Coffee Break Training provides an overview of fire protection topics and does not include all details, requirements or exceptions to the topics that are described. Always refer to nationally recognized design and installation codes and standards, the product manufacturer, or listing details for specific information.
