Sprinkler
Contractors Work Quickly
Twomey received
a letter from Habitat for Humanity International encouraging affiliates
to work with the HFSC and install fire sprinkler systems in their
homes. Their construction manager immediately contacted the HFSC
explaining the urgency of the Calloway project. HFSC works with
HFH affiliates by helping identify the local resources to supply
the material, labor and technical support.
"This project
moved so quickly, it was amazing," said Steve Randall, member of
the Florida HFSC. "The house was at the ideal point for sprinkler
installation when the Habitat people learned about the HFSC. They
were willing to stop the project and offset their schedule if we
could work fast," Randall said.
Randall immediately
contacted various local resources to donate the material and labor.
Phillips Fire Protection agreed to design the system. Wayne Automatic
agreed to donate the installation. BlazeMaster donated the pipe
and Central Sprinkler donated the heads. The sprinkler system was
installed within one week.
