- Sprinklers are used to thoroughly wet down an area. This results
in combustibles (buildings and landscape) being much less likely to
ignite due to flying embers and the intense heat of a nearby fire.
- The
soaked landscape releases moisture into the air. This lowers the
ambient temperature and increases the humidity level of the immediate
area. These effects extend some distance above ground level. The result
is that the advancing wildfire will tend to be deflected by this less
supportive environmental pocket and pass by the protected property.
- Sprinklers
are most effective when in continual operation for 2 or more hours
prior to the arrival of the fire. However, any operational time, even as
little as an hour, will increase chances of a successful defense of the
property.
