Fire Sprinkler Systems
December 07, 2015
The fire sprinkler systems that are installed in the Townhomes of Tuscany Square are invaluable tools. These systems are designed to activate during a fire, which gives people time to escape and may reduce the amount of fire and its damage; however, fire sprinkler systems must be properly maintained in order for the devices to work.
The fire sprinkler systems that are installed in the Townhomes of Tuscany Square are invaluable tools. These systems are designed to activate during a fire, which gives people time to escape and may reduce the amount of fire and its damage; however, fire sprinkler systems must be properly maintained in order for the devices to work.
Frisco Fire Codes require all residential fire sprinkler systems be inspected and tested each year, which is the responsibility of the homeowner. Annual inspections help ensure antifreeze levels are sufficient and systems are configured correctly to prevent freezing and ruptured pipes. Ruptured pipes may cause considerable property damage and inconvenience, while leaving the structure unprotected should fire break out. Annual inspection of the backflow prevention assemblies also protects the safety of the City’s water supply by preventing cross contamination to the City’s water system.
A system’s last test and inspection dates are noted on a tag attached to the system’s riser or control valve. The tag should also show the name of the company or person who conducted the last test and inspection, along with contact information.

Sec. 94-262. – Requirements.(6) It shall be the duty of the customer-user at any premises where backflow-prevention assemblies are installed to have certified inspections and operational tests made at least once per year. (Ord. No. 06-05-52, § 3,5-16-2006).
