The Details of How to Request the Side-by-Side Sprinkler Demonstration Trailer
What you need for How to Request the Side-by-Side Sprinkler Demonstration Trailer
The Department of Fire Services has a new Side-by-Side Sprinkler Demonstration Trailer that was donated by the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NSFA). This prop gives fire departments a dramatic teaching tool that demonstrates how sprinklers save time, and time buys lives in a fire. The mobile unit has two identical rooms that are set on fire. One room has a sprinkler, and one does not. During the fire, observers see how quickly fire spreads and how little time there is to escape a fire. After viewing this demonstration, the public walks away recognizing that fires are fast but sprinklers are faster.

- Demonstration Kit – a list of what the fire department needs to provide for the demonstration including a check list, information prior to the demonstration, an equipment list, what is needed immediately before and during the demonstration, and who needs to be involved.
- PowerPoint™ slideshow – a “how to” explanation about setting up the trailer. It reviews guidelines, talking points, with video to explain each aspect of the demonstration.
- Script – a suggested script to follow so that the key points will be reinforced during the demonstration.
