As a result of the tragic fire of October 28, 2007 in Ocean Isle, NC that claimed the lives of seven Clemson University College Students, the NCFMA is focusing on the importance of installing residential sprinklers in all new one and two family dwellings constructed in NC.
NCFMA is partnering with the NC Association Fire Chiefs, the NC State Firemen's Association, the NC County Fire Marshals Association, NC Arson Investigators Association and many other fire service related organizations to promote residential fire sprinkler education and to support changes to State and International Codes to require sprinklers in new one and two family construction. The NCFMA is working closing with the NC Home Fire Sprinkler Alliance and Fire Team USA to educate firefighters, code officials and the public about residential fire sprinklers.
The NC Building Inspector's Association has joined hands with us in supporting changes to the NC Residential Building Code to require sprinklers in new construction.
The NCFMA feels that residential sprinklers in combination with working smoke detectors in one and two family dwellings will greatly reduce fire deaths in NC and across our nation.
This page is dedicated to educating the general public, building contractors and firefighters in the advantages of having residential structures protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system.
