Bloomington Fire Chief Jeff Barlow on South Dunn Street:

This fully residential sprinklered development, which we know is a first in Bloomington and possibly a first in the state of Indiana, will leverage the benefits of modern technology with traditional design.

Residential sprinklers save lives. The sprinklers, designed specifically for the home, tactically place water on a developing fire and can contain or outright extinguish the fire before it grows out of control, endangering the occupants.

This project is a blend of the developer's desire for a traditional feel with a commitment to the protection of those who will call these houses home. I applaud developer Matt Press for his commitment to making these homes fire safe. I hope his example sets in motion future projects that will utilize this life-saving technology for our community.




One- or two- car garages with variations are available

The In-home Fire Sprinklers:
All homes in the South Dunn Street Project will have in-home fire sprinkler systems. These low cost, inconspicuous systems are an integrated part of the home's standard water supply. In-home fire sprinklers are highly reliable; triggered only by a heat sensor, they do not accidentally activate. The system reacts in the first minutes of a fire to save lives and reduce property damage. Dozens of U.S. communities currently mandate these systems in all new home construction and many more are passing legislation requiring their use every year. As an added benefit, many insurance companies offer discounts on homes with in-home sprinkler systems.
