Sprinkler Fitters Local 704


Fire Sprinklers Saves Lives and Property. The main objective for fire sprinklers is life safety. One of the earliest documented automatic sprinkler systems dates back to 1723 where Ambrose Godfrey used gunpowder to release a tank of extinguishing fluid. Throughout the years improvements have been made to the automatic sprinkler and its systems.

Until the early 1940’s, sprinkler systems were used to primarily protect commercial buildings. Since then their uses have been expanded to protect lives in hospitals, office buildings, schools and apartment buildings. Today you can find automatic sprinkler systems in the heaviest of industrial buildings down to the single family home.

Sprinkler Fitters Local 704 represents highly skilled members who spend the first 5 years of their career being trained in the various sprinkler systems and their applications, trained on all the latest NFPA codes, safety training, inspection and maintenance of all systems.

Together with Local 704’s signatory contractors, we can help with all of your fire protection needs. Whether you do not have a system or need servicing and maintenance on an existing system, we’re here to help! There are various sprinkler systems available and we can help pair you with a responsible contractor who utilizes our skilled workforce.
