The Second
Edition of “Residential Fire Sprinklers...A Step-By-Step
Approach for Communities” and the updated companion
Look
Up For Safety
CD/DVD set is
now available to fire service and community leaders. The
updated resources build upon the original editions, which
were released in 2001.
“We are
pleased to once again partner with the IAFC to bring this
important document to both fire service and community
leaders across America,” says John Viniello, NFSA President.
The revised
guide brings all of the latest information together for
community leaders who wish to pass fire sprinkler
legislation or adopt a national code that includes fire
sprinklers. Success stories are shared from communities
across the nation that highlight specific steps and how-to
advice from those who have gone before.
The fire and
emergency service community has made great strides in
ensuring residential fire sprinklers become an integral part
of the national risk-reduction strategy. As national
policies evolve, it will take the leadership of the local
fire department to ensure life-saving change takes hold at
the local level.
That is why
the IAFC fully supports this informative and resourceful
tool, “Residential Fire Sprinklers…A Step-by-Step Approach
for Communities.” The IAFC believes strongly that, as the
primary life-safety leader in your community, it is critical
that fire service leaders have the tools needed to succeed.
As with any
cultural shift, change takes time, energy and know-how. The
IAFC and the NFSA are proud to partner in offering this
updated resource package. Undoubtedly, the environment will
continue to change, and the IAFC will continue to work with
the NFSA and others to ensure you have the tools needed to
move from change to opportunity. By presenting this document
jointly, we hope to impress upon local leaders the
criticality of working collaboratively to address the
immediate need, as well as convey the our organizations
long-term commitment to enhancing local firefighter- and
life-safety efforts, that extend beyond any single leader.
“The
importance of being involved in the code process has never
been more critical,” says Mark Light, IAFC Executive
Director. “We hope these updated tools provide the
motivation, inspiration, and resources for you to lead
change and implementation efforts in the community, and
challenge you to share them with partners in your department
and community who share your commitment.”
