Watch our LIVE SprinklerSmarts Fire
and Sprinkler Demonstration on
Friday, May 16, 2025 at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET.

The SprinklerSmarts demonstration will wrap up the week featuring leaders from the fire safety industry and a live demonstration comparing fires in two identical rooms, one is protected with a fire sprinkler, the other is not. Viewers can see how quickly the fire becomes deadly in the unsprinklered room compared to the room protected with a fire sprinkler. Heat from the fire will activate the sprinkler and stop the fire and deadly toxic smoke from spreading. Fire sprinklers allow residents to safely escape, and they protect firefighters.

Speakers:

  • James Boulanger, Patriot Fire Protection, NFSA Chairman of the Board of Directors
  • Lorraine Carli, HFSC President/NFPA VP of Outreach and Advocacy
  • Nicole Sanders, Research Amplification Lead, UL Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI)
  • Shane Ray, President, NFSA will narrate the live fire and sprinkler side-by-side demonstration
  • Vickie Pritchett, Vice President, Advocacy & Outreach, NFSA, master of ceremony

National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC) and UL Fire Safety Research Institute are sponsoring the event.
