This Home Can Save Your Life Brochure and Box

No matter how much safety information is available online, many people still prefer to read and keep pamphlets on hand. This brochure was developed to provide consumers with updated facts about why home fires can become deadly in less than two minutes and how home fire sprinklers give people extra time to escape.

This brochure is the companion to the Sprinklered House Tool Box. This sturdy box, shaped like a house, features a genuine home fire sprinkler and educational messages. The box supports the system of home fire safety story: why you need working smoke alarms and escape planning and practice, and why home fire sprinklers provide the ultimate protection.

The box is the perfect educational tool when talking to the media, consumers and other stakeholders. You’ll want to keep it handy to use following home fires and at all your educational and code activity presentations.

For many years, HFSC’s kit for people living in homes protected with home fire sprinklers has been widely used by fire departments, sprinkler contractors and home builders. Now it’s updated, with a customizable hangtag that illustrates typical riser features and some basic information, including how to do routine flow tests. The Kit includes a new illustrated brochure that helps residents understand the fire protection they have and know how to maintain it.
