Ware, Mass (WGGB)-The Ware Fire Department in cooperation with The National Fire Sprinkler Association put on a live demonstration today showing the benefits of residential sprinklers. The demonstration took place earlier this afternoon at a Lowe’s Home Improvement Store on Palmer Road in Ware. Residents were able to see a side by side demonstration of two rooms on fire, one with a sprinkler system, and one without. Fire Chief Thomas Coulombe was at the demonstration and said, “We always do a great job reaching the kids in school during our safety program; It’s awfully hard to demonstrate why you want to do the stop drop and roll without any fear or any actual smoke”. Chief Coulombe felt that the demonstration was a great opportunity to show kids and residents first hand why it’s important to stay low to the ground during a fire and how to protect yourself . The demonstration was recorded by Palmer Local Access, and Chief Coulombe intends to show kids this demonstration during Fire Prevention Weeks.
