FTT in Orlando, FL

http://www.fireteamtennessee.com/images/Built_for_Life_Game.jpg

Fire Team Tennessee was represented at the 62nd Annual International Builders Show in Orlando, Florida January 11-14, 2006.  Jim Dalton, Vickie Pritchett, and Wayne Waggoner helped Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition Spokesperson Ron Hazelton with the new "Built for Life Game" in the HFSC booth.  The lines were constant as builders and developers learned about residential fire sprinkler systems and their installation. 

"Watching the reaction of builders when the statistics and facts about fire sprinklers are shared is exciting," says Vickie Pritchett, FTT Project Manager.  "It is encouraging to realize that builders and developers see the value of fire sprinklers and are embracing their installation in new homes."
