Sprinkler is a fire fighting device which operates when the temperature in the vicinity rises beyond a dangerous level. Pressurized spray of water starts from the sprinkler when it operates or breaks accidentally. Fire sprinklers are fitted inside the apartment as per norms. Fire sprinklers are also fitted in lift lobbies, basements and other common areas. Each sprinkler is connected via pipelines to the fire water tank in the pump room. Water pressure in the pipe lines is maintained by sprinkler pumps fitted in the pump room. For proper and effective working of the fire sprinklers, the pink colour protective cap on the sprinkler needs to be removed. Kindly report to maintenance / condominium office if the caps of sprinkler in your apartment are still ON. Shifting of sprinkler position may reduce effectiveness of the sprinkler. Hiding / Covering the sprinkler inside the cupboards or false ceiling etc. will render it completely ineffective hence, sprinklers should never be hidden / covered. Residents are therefore requested to ensure that smoke detectors and fire sprinklers in their apartments are free from any such obstructions to provide full safety against fire hazards.
