Common Voices
advocates participated in the 20th Annual
Congressional Fire Services Institute activities
the week of April 1-4, 2008 in Washington, D.C.
Advocates used their time in our nation's
Capitol to conduct follow-up visits to key
Senators and Congressman, continuing their
support of the Fire Sprinkler Incentive Act.
Common Voices advocates also joined over 2,200
fire service leaders for the annual dinner held
at the Washington Hilton on Connecticut Avenue.
