Canada has one of the worst fire loss records in the industrialized world.
Welcome to the website of the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association, Canada’s fire sprinkler association. I invite you to look closely at the programs and services of the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association. Join us as we extend the benefits of automatic fire sprinklers to all Canadians, where we work, live and play.
Canada has one of the worst fire loss records in the industrialized world. Experts have estimated that the cost of fire in Canada is 11 billion dollars annually (1995). For this reason, CASA has developed, as part of a National Public Awareness Campaign, a series of programs designed to lessen the impact of these staggering costs through the use of modern fire sprinkler technology.
