HFSC Announces New “BUILT FOR LIFE  Fire Department” Education Program

HFSC has received a $4,000 award through the FM Global Fire Prevention Grant program to produce educational banner displays that will aid local fire departments in residential fire sprinkler education and outreach.

The new display will feature the latest HFSC information and colorful graphics. Although compact in size, it provides comprehensive sprinkler details at a glance, serving as a valuable teaching tool for a wide range of public venues.
HFSC will make the portable display available on loan to fire departments wishing to provide home fire sprinkler outreach through community events that attract large audiences, such as local home shows.

“This is a great addition to the resources we offer because most fire departments do not have a budget to develop their own home fire sprinkler exhibits,” says HFSC Chair Gary Keith. “We are grateful to have received this financial award from FM Global. It helps in our continuing efforts to support local fire safety educators and is a tool they will use in their communities for years to come.”

To learn how you can apply for local fire department use of HFSC's displays, visit the Fire Service Section.
