Fire Sprinkler Initiative

VIDEO OF THE WEEK

Fire sprinklers save lives and NFPA is committed to doing all we can to bring this higher level of safety home. * Roughly 84% of all civilian fire deaths in 2007 resulted from home structure fires. * If you have a reported fire in your home, the risk of dying decreases by about 80% when sprinklers are present. Sprinkler advocates across the country have asked for a coordinated effort to encourage the use of home fire sprinklers. NFPA has launched that effort through the “Fire Sprinkler Initiative: Bringing Safety Home.” The initiative includes a variety of proven, effective ways that home fire sprinkler advocates can communicate the impact of sprinklers. We are coming together as an organization and as individuals to pass legislation to save lives. Each one of us in our community can get this done. Let's get some ideas started!
