Most fire educators agree: It’s difficult to get people to think about the dangers of a home fire and to pay attention to key safety messages. That’s why presenting live fire demonstrations has become so popular with local fire departments.

For most impact, HFSC recommends presenting two fires – one with sprinkler protection. These dramatic events give the children and adults a first-person experience with fire that they won’t soon forget.  Seeing how quickly the unsprinklered side goes to flashover helps the audience appreciate the unique value of fire sprinklers.

It’s easy to build, plan and present a side-by-side educational event. HFSC has a free kit that walks you through every detail.  You can watch a video showing every step of the construction process. Or, print out the detailed instructions, including specifications and materials and equipment lists.

The kit also includes comprehensive guidance to help you attract local partners and sponsors, generate media coverage to promote the event and presentation strategies to make the event truly educational.
