The International Association of Fire
Chiefs (IAFC) is bringing the strength of its diverse network of chief fire
officers to the nonprofit
Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC). The IAFC has
joined HFSC’s board, and will provide a range of activities in the coming year
to support the coalition’s efforts to publicize its free sprinkler educational
materials to the fire service.
Increased installation of
residential fire sprinkler systems is imperative to the national effort to
reduce fire deaths. While more than 80 percent of all fire deaths occur in
homes, residential sprinkler installations lag far behind other occupancies.
Starting with the fire service, HFSC provides accurate information about
sprinkler technology so consumers, home builders and local authorities can make
informed decisions.
