The managing director of Mist Fire Solutions and his family were badly affected by fire 15 years ago. The system was developed after 15 years of searching and testing and is believed to be the future of residential fire protection in this country. It is a legal requirement in the UK, Europe and many States in the USA that houses are Sprinkler Protected. South Africa cannot legislate it due to Residential Properties falling under Formal and Non Formal, causing a conflict. Do not become a statistic because of a loop hole.
