ARTICLES ABOUT SPRINKLER SYSTEMS

There is much we can learn from folks with different viewpoints—in this case, it’s about sprinkler systems.  Here are several articles on the subject:

A large barn blaze has killed as many as 62,000 broiler chicks on the morning of Friday, March 12th. Abbotsford Fire and Rescue Service was called out to the AARC Poultry Farm, at 1872 Bradner Rd., at 10:10 a.m. “Flames were coming out from the second floor of a barn on the property,” said Lt. Tony Lucas. The 300 foot by 40 foot barn was soon fully engulfed.

A letter from Terry Dayton, Fire and Mold Protection Specialist

The American Fire Sprinkler Association (http://www.sprinklernet.org)
The Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (http://www.homefiresprinkler.org
