New Website Drives Sprinkler Message Home Information from The Scottsdale Report is also used in the movie. The Scottsdale Report is an analysis of fire records during the first 10 years the City of Scottsdale had an ordinance requiring the installation of residential fire sprinklers in all new homes. This information compares the average amount of water used by fire sprinklers to the amount used with fire hoses. It also compares average fire loss in a home protected by fire sprinklers to an unprotected home. While developing the movie, the HFSC sent it to various members of the fire service throughout the country for feedback. Keith said it was very well received. "Members of fire service were anxious for us to post it on the Website so they could use it for community education," Keith added. Anyone who visits the HFSC Website can download the timeline movie to view when they are not on the Internet and to use for presentations. Viewers do need the "Flash" plug-in, which is also available to download on the Website at no charge. |
