Fire Team USA will demonstrate the dramatic effects of home sprinklers with a side-by-side comparison burn at the conclusion of a free workshop on March 27 at Snohomish County Fire District 1 Headquarters and Training Tower, 12425 Meridian Ave. S, Everett.
The side-by-side comparison of fire in a room with a sprinkler and a room without a sprinkler will take place around 4 p.m. at the training tower.
The day-long workshop presented by Fire Team USA begins at 9 a.m.
Participants will learn the basics of how sprinklers work, explore current public policy, discuss how community planning affects fire protection and learn about local resources.
"In the event of a home fire, sprinklers respond quickly, giving families valuable time to get to safety. Many places of employment, education and businesses are already protected by sprinklers. The place where you and your family sleep should be protected by fire sprinklers," Greg Rogers, chair of the Washington Sprinkler Coalition, said.
Members of the public, building officials, home builders, fire service personnel and the media are invited to attend.
The training, lunch and parking is free of charge.
