The Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition Community Impact Tool

This tool combines national and local data to present a comprehensive view of the true costs of fire. Those involved in decision making about local fire codes, including AHJs and local officials, can gain better insight into the cost and safety benefits of home fire sprinklers and and their impact on community risk reduction.

The Community Impact Tool allows fire officials to enter local fire data such as injuries, deaths, equipment used, and other data points to highlight the difference home fire sprinklers make in community risk reduction. The local data is combined with national data to provide a complete overview of how fire sprinklers benefit communities.

The data are formatted and output for presentation to local officials and AHJs on the benefits of requiring fire sprinklers in new developments and putting or keeping it in the local codes.
