NFPA Journal - Summer 2021 - 39
At right, side-by-side burns offer dramatic demonstrations
of how sprinklers can control home fires. Below, experts say
that the nation's home fire problem could be significantly
reduced with the incorporation of sprinklers into new oneand two-family homes.
THE NFPA RESPONSE
Fighting misinformation:
the campaign for home fire sprinklers
NFPA continues to seek new ways to
advocate for the local adoption of home
fire sprinklers nationwide. The NFPA Fire
Sprinkler Initiative (nfpa.org/firesprinklerinitiative), working through state Fire
Sprinkler Coalitions, spearheads legislative and regulatory efforts to get the
facts and benefits of sprinklers in front of
policymakers around the country. NFPA
supports the efforts of the Home Fire
Sprinkler Coalition (homefiresprinkler.org)
to develop and distribute evidence-based
materials on the true cost, water usage,
and other details of home fire sprinklers.
NFPA has a long history of effective
advocacy work to draw from in its fight
for home fire sprinklers. From the first
sponsorship of Fire Prevention Week in
1922 to the creation of Sparky the Fire
Dog in 1951 to Dick Van Dyke chanting
" roll, roll, roll your body " in a 1970s public
service ad promoting " Stop, Drop and
Roll, " NFPA has successfully educated the
public on a range of fire hazards. A decade
ago, it helped lead the fight for fire-safe
cigarettes, which resulted in successful
mandates in all 50 states and the District
of Columbia.
That creativity and perseverance will
be necessary as the sprinkler fight goes
on. " We're seeing nearly 3,000 home fire
deaths a year in the US, one of the most
advanced countries in the world, and the
problem is markedly worse in countries
we haven't gotten to yet with fire-safety
messages, " said Pauley. " In our vision
statement, we say we are the leading global
advocate for the elimination of death,
injury, and property and economic loss due
to fire, electrical, and other hazards. So we
will continue to advocate for fire safety, and
home fire sprinklers are a big part of that. "
