HFSC's Peg Paul talks to Dick Miller, President of the Canadian Home Builders' Association about residential fire sprinklers at the Alberta Home Builders' Association meeting in Jasper, AB.
Members of the Alberta Home Builders' Association (AHBA) had the opportunity to learn more about home fire sprinkler systems at their annual convention in Jasper last fall. Through a partnership between BlazeMaster® Fire Sprinkler Systems and HFSC, a fire sprinkler display was set up along with a sprinkler system demonstration.

According to Gerry Ennis, Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association regional manager, the Alberta Home Builders invited HFSC to exhibit at the convention because the organizations are working together to increase homebuyer awareness about the benefits of fire sprinklers. Ennis, who works closely with the Alberta HFSC, said the Alberta HBA is a member of the local HFSC.

"Because it was our first time at the convention, the members attending the show had plenty of questions," Ennis said. "Many of the builders were not aware of some of the basic information, like the fact that each sprinkler is individually activated. Our interactive display where we use water and a pump to show how a sprinkler is activated really captured their attention."

HFSC and BlazeMaster Fire Sprinkler Systems will also exhibit at the Canadian Home Builders' Association National meeting in February
in Victoria, B.C.
