Studies of major bushfire events have found that a large percentage of houses burn because their decks catch on fire, not as a direct result contact with the fire front, but because of ember attack.
A sprinkler system is a very effective way of safeguarding your property even if you’re absent (so long as you let the neighbours know how to turn it on.)
Michael Adler, Civil & Geotechnical Engineer from Lovett Bay has shared the ins and outs of his sprinkler system for everyone’s benefit. If you want to talk to Michael about any aspects of his system he’s happy to have you come over and talk it through. Just call him on 0412 904 349.
Incidentally, the photo you see of the house ablaze is the previously owned house on Michael’s property – the fire being the direct result of ember attack.
