Hartford experiences an average of 25 freeze-thaw cycles each winter, with temperatures dropping below 32 degrees Fahrenheit at night and rising above freezing during the day. This cycling places immense stress on fire suppression systems, particularly in older buildings with inadequate insulation or sprinkler pipes located in exterior walls. When water in a sprinkler pipe freezes, it expands, weakening joints and fittings. Once temperatures rise, the ice melts and the pipe ruptures under normal water pressure. The South End and Frog Hollow neighborhoods have a high concentration of brick commercial buildings from the early 1900s, many with exposed piping in unheated stairwells and attics where freezing is common.
