Home fire sprinklers do more than control a fire. They provide time needed for a safe escape. By controlling a fire in its early stages, home fire sprinklers reduce heat, smoke, and the rapid spread of flames, helping protect residents and responders.

Labor Day is a time to honor the dedication and service of America’s workers. As many families gather, travel, and enjoy the long weekend, the U.S. Fire Administration encourages everyone to keep fire safety in mind.
Education is most effective when people can see it in action. Peoria, IL Fire Dept used HFSC stipend funds for a working model of a home fire sprinkler system, giving community members a hands-on way to see how sprinklers work & why they save lives.

📚 Happy National Read a Book Day! 📚
Today is the perfect time to read about firefighters and fire safety!
There are lots of great books that teach children about the work firefighters do and help them learn that firefighters are friends!
This message is an important part of our kindergarten lesson.
Earlier this week, crew members from EN336 joined our Public Educator for a kindergarten lesson, where they read Tinyville Town: I’m a Firefighter by Brian Biggs. The students also got to see a firefighter in his turnout gear, check out the fire engine, and learn about some of the tools firefighters use to help our community!

Know your local hazards—wildfires, floods, hurricanes—and prepare accordingly. #Preparedness

They aren't just pets, they're family. That's one more reason to install home fire sprinklers. They control a fire in its earliest stages, creating safer conditions while firefighters work to rescue both people and pets.

Medical oxygen can make fires ignite easier and burn faster. Never smoke or allow anyone to smoke where medical oxygen is being used. Help keep everyone safe. #FireSafety #MedicalOxygen

40 years ago, AZ, passed a fire sprinkler ordinance requiring all new homes to be protected with fire sprinklers, a milestone that has helped save lives and reduce fire damage for decades. Read "Scottsdale at 40: The Case for Residential Fire Sprinklers." homefiresprinkler.org/report…

A real life example of how fast & dangerous home fires actually are, and how fire sprinklers can make the difference in survival. A security camera across the street captured this deadly home fire in real time. Powerful education from @HFSCorg

Many toys, remotes, and devices use small button batteries. No matter the shape or size, keep batteries out of reach of young children. Batteries can be especially dangerous if swallowed. #BatterySafety

Many people don't realize just how hot a home fire can get. Luckily, installed fire sprinklers do. They activate when they detect heat, helping control a fire before it grows too large. Learn more about how home fire sprinklers work at homefiresprinkler.org.

Never charge devices on soft surfaces like beds or couches. They can trap heat and cause fires. #TakeCharge
