HFSC Introduces Public Educator Kit, Children’s Program
August 15, 2007
The non-profit Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC) has
introduced its new Public Education kit, available free to fire service and
publish educators nationwide. HFSC also has launched a new interactive
educational Web site, www.SprinklerSmarts.org.
The new material is part of HFSC’s goal to provide the fire
service with the materials and tools needed to educate the public on the
benefits of residential fire sprinklers.
The new Public Education kit contains all of HFSC’s
education and presentation material. The kit includes a CD containing
customizable presentations, public relations tools and programs. The DVD
consists of all of HFSC’s education videos, including the Protect
What You Value Most consumer education video, Built
for Life for builders and Living with Sprinklers
for people living in homes protected with sprinklers.
The kit also includes new educational brochures for real
estate and insurance professionals.
Children are the main focus of HFSC’s Sprinkler Smarts, an
animated Web site, which stars “Captain Splash & the Drop-lettes.” It
offers fun and interactive games for children, while also providing teaching
materials to help public educators, teachers and parents educate children.
Fire safety officials can use worksheets offered on the Web
site, as well as other downloadable material in collaboration with the presentations
and games. These materials help children understand fire safety and prevention
as well as identify fire sprinklers and their benefits through an entertaining
form of education.
The new Public Education Kit and Sprinkler Smarts program
were funded through a Department of Homeland Security Fire Act Grant.

education kit, or to order the kit for free, visit www.homefiresprinkler.org.
