How many fire extinguishers do I need in my building? The number and the type of fire extinguishers you need in your building or restaurant depends on two main factors—the hazard level and square footage of the building. Building codes and OSHA standards use these factors when determining the fire protection requirements of a building.xtra Fire Hazard: fire extinguishers 30 – 50 feet apart. In extra hazard occupancies, there is more of a hazard than what is considered “ordinary.”As a result, these locations may need larger extinguishers and should be either 30 feet or 50 feet from each other, depending on location.

Fire Sprinkler Cost But how much does it cost to install a fire sprinkler system? The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) conducted a study in 2013 to assess the average cost of installing a fire sprinkler system and the factors that affect this cost. The NFPA calculated the average cost to be $1.35 per sprinklered square foot of a home or business. This is defined as any space, finished or unfinished, that is protected by fire sprinklers once the installation is complete. In Addison, TX – the closest community to Houston that the NFPA used in its study – the average cost was $1.70 per sprinklered square foot as of 2013. Many factors affect fire sprinkler cost.
