USA Sprinkler Fitters Association Participates in National Campus Fire Safety Capitol Hill Day - (9/20/2009)
On September 17th, 2009, students from the University of North Carolina (UNC), various city fire officials from across the United States and Canada, and organization representives from the USA Sprinkler Fitters Association, NFPA, the Congressional Fire Services Institute (CFSI), the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), Ohio Fire Safety Coalition, Common Voices, Campus Fire Watch, and the ICC converged on Capitol Hill to voice our concerns over campus fire safety.
Participates with the campaign, led by Campus Fire Watch Executive Director Ed Comeau told members of Congress of the need for stricter fire safety requirements for our university residence halls and off-campus housing. Specifically, participants lobbied for HR 1194 (Fire Sprinkler Incentive Act), and HR 2136 (Honorable Stephanie Tubbs Jones College Fire Prevention Act).
Our hope is that members of Congress heard us and will support this important legislation as it moves through Congress!
