On the evening of January 18th,
the Ashland City Fire Department
hosted a training session for
firefighters on Residential Fire
Sprinkler Operations.
Vickie Pritchett, Fire Team
Project Manager, delivered the
program, which included a live
fire sprinkler demonstration.
Ashland City, the second
municipality in Tennessee to
adopt a "zero-square-foot"
sprinkler requirement, is the
county seat of Cheatham County,
which enacted the State's first
county-wide sprinkler ordinance
last fall.
"With more and more structures
being built with these systems,
it's important for our personnel
to understand what they need to
do in the event of an
activation," said ACFD Chief,
Chuck Walker. "We also
want them to understand the
benefits that sprinklers provide
not only to the residents, but
to them as firefighters."
Plans are being made to ensure
that every firefighter in
Cheatham County receives this
training. |
