CALLING ALL FIREFIGHTERS, FIRE PREVENTION SPECIALISTS, AND INSURANCE PROFESSIONALS - WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Government building code officials and home builder associations need to be informed that water sprinklers are no longer the only option to automatically suppress a residential fire, thanks to a new Canadian invention that is now ready for public release.

For years, the debate between home builder associations and the fire safety community has been underway regarding the cost-effectiveness of residential water sprinklers. A simple Google search for "residential sprinklers debate" will yield many articles, discussions, and opinions on the matter, such as http://www.nfsa.tv/info_items/fire_safety_resident....

However, this has been largely an "either/or" debate; either residential water sprinklers are mandated or they aren't. The solution may reside with neither as the solution, since an alternative solution has recently emerged that satisfies both sides of the argument - fire safety and cost effectiveness, without water damage in case of an incident.

The HAVEN "automatic fire extinguisher", as it is being referred to, requires no water or electricity, costs a tiny fraction of wet suppression installation and maintenance costs (of which, the costs purported by the NFPA are grossly underestimated at $1.35/sq. ft, when in reality the retrofit cost for an existing home is $18+/sq. ft in an ideal installation scenario), and is simple to install by the average home owner. To see a video of its effectiveness on two typical house fires (kitchen and living room) watch the 3-min video at www.HavenFireSafety.com

There is now a viable alternative on the market with the HAVEN product that all fire and home builder personnel need to be aware of to help save lives and property from the devastating aftermath of residential fires. Please help us raise awareness and add your comments and voice to this very important and urgent discussion.

We thank you for your feedback and your time to read and sign this petition.

Seeing 250 signatures on this page is surreal given how long I have been researching this technology alone. It is validating to know that so many of you recognize the potential to move past the outdated water sprinkler debate.

Seeing one hundred people recognize the potential for a better fire safety solution is incredibly validating. This technology could have saved my family so much heartache but now we are finally pushing back against the status quo.

This is an option that provides minimal damage to the home by containing the fire and not requiring you to have your basement full of water or your whole house leveled while waiting for the rural fire departments.

Great product, especially for retirement homes, you should present the product to Regie du Batiment (Quebec), CLSC (quebec), Agence de Sante et Services sociaux (Quebec) They are forcing retirement homes to install sprinklers, which I think your product is much better, more efficient and less costly.

Best thing out there. I am a renter and could put this in my home. As well it is much lower cost than sprinkler at new build, causes less potential damage and needs little attention. Wow that saves insurance Billions a year just in N.A.

Installed in my garage in 15minutes for a lifetime of peace of mind. Quick easy fire suppression for an area with chemicals, tools, etc...attached to our house. Always had a way to alert us but never an automatic suppression. Great idea! Will undoubtedly save lives.

A very cost effective way to solve a life threatening problem. I work in a few nursing homes that are being mandated to install sprinkler systems at an exceptionally high cost , this just might be the solution to keep the doors open, providing it's approved for commercial use. Thanks

I just saw your product on Dragon's Den and I am so grateful for this invention. Absolutely, this should become standard in every single building - home, office, schools, hospitals, daycares... Thank you so much and yes, the education component of this should become quickly widespread in all firesafety training.
