The HOME FIRE SPRINKLER CO-ALITION is expanding its program to Illinois and Oregon. The coalition

The HOME FIRE SPRINKLER CO-ALITION is expanding its program to Illinois and Oregon. The coalition started with a 1997 pilot program in Connecticut. The coalition`s purpose is to provide consumers with accurate information about the life-saving value of residential automatic fire sprinklers. The Canadian Fire Sprinkler Association, the Fire Sprinkler Public Education Foundation, and Underwriters Laboratories each have pledged $25,000 to support the coalition`s 1998 program and have joined the steering committee. The Connecticut Fire Marshals Association, the New England Association of Fire Marshals, Rural/Metro Corporation, and the Viking Corporation have joined as affiliate members, each pledging $1,500 to the program. A new toll-free information hotline, (888) 635-7222, provides information about home sprinkler systems. A free brochure, Controlling the Home Fire Threat, is also available. For more information about coalition programs and becoming a member, contact Gary Keith at (617) 984-7263, or via e-mail at gkeith@nfpa.org.
