On June 14, the nonprofit Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition’s (HFSC) spokesperson Ron Hazelton narrated a side-by-side fire sprinkler demonstration for attendees at the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) annual Conference & Expo in Las Vegas to celebrate the organization’s 20th anniversary. The demonstration was held at Desert Fire Protection, a local sprinkler contractor.
HFSC Board President Lorraine Carli recognized the founding members, the NFPA, American Fire Sprinkler Association, and National Fire Sprinkler Association, for having the vision to improve awareness of home fire sprinklers and organize HFSC. She also acknowledged all the Board members for their continued support and commitment. Now, the organization not only comprises the three founding members, but also the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association, FM Global, International Association of Fire Chiefs, National Association of State Fire Marshals, National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, National Volunteer Fire Council, Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors, State Farm Insurance, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and the United States Fire Administration.
