In support of the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition’s mission to increase awareness about the life- and property-saving benefits of residential fire sprinkler systems, the API Fire Protection Group has joined the Coalition as an Associate Member. The API Group consists of eight fire protection companies located across the country with two in Canada and England.
According to Gregg Huennekens, President, U.S. Fire Protection, API wanted to support HFSC because of their accomplishments over the years, especially with the home building industry. “When we first saw the HFSC Building For Life brochure, we were interested in supporting their education efforts,” Huennekens said. “Now we are excited to support HFSC as associate members and with our resources at the International Builders’ Show.” Two API Companies played a major role in preparing HFSC and the fire sprinkler industry for IBS. Western States/Statewide Fire Protection in Las Vegas designed and installed the fire sprinkler systems in the four homes located in Show Village, outside the main entrance to the convention. U.S. Fire Protection designed and oversaw the development of the system in the miniature built-to-scale home that will be on display at the HFSC booth. “With API’s added support, we are better positioned than ever
to achieve our mission,” said HFSC Chair Gary Keith. “We
believe this exciting partnership will infuse the home construction
market with enthusiasm for residential sprinkler systems.” |
