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.
