Buckmiller Auto. Sprinkler Corp.

According to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), nearly 3,500 fires occur annually in U.S. office buildings.

The NFPA reports that these fires, on average, kill at least four civilians, injuring 44 others, and cause 112 million dollars in property damage!

Since the Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) creation, sprinkler systems are viewed as the "minimum established level of expected care." In short, the public and the courts expect your building to have fire sprinklers no matter what the codes say. Building owners that do not meet that expectation may open themselves up to additional liability in the case of significant fire loss.

According to the NFPA, there are three types of income tax deductions available to businesses that have fire sprinkler-equipped buildings:

Please check with your CPA to ensure your property will fall under any of these guidelines.

1. A business can take the depreciation allowance each year for the value of the fire sprinkler system.

2. A business can take a tax deduction for the interest they spend on a loan to install a fire sprinkler system.

3. A business might qualify for the federal Qualified Rehabilitation Tax Credit

When you have your own fully sprinklered building, your people and property are protected, and your inspections and tests happen on autopilot!
