News: New research study to help determine if fire sprinklers are
Posted on Tuesday, October 20 @ 02:40:46 PDT

 NFPA's Mike Hazell chronicles in several blog entries the research test conducted at FM Global in West Glocester Rhode Island earlier this month where two 15x20 foot living rooms, each furnished with a flat-screen television, comfortable furniture, and bookshelves and family photos, were set on fire as part of a groundbreaking research project that's looking at the environmental impact of home fires.
The project, a collaborative effort of FM Global and the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition, is studying:
the types, quantity and duration of air and water pollutants released from a home fire as well as the water usage from fire sprinklers and firefighters' hoses
the environmental impact resulting from burning household furnishings and finish materials as well as disposing the fire-damaged contents of a home
the carbon footprint associated with rebuilding a burnt home
The blog posts include video interviews with FM Global's Chris Wieczork and NFPA's Gary Keith and numerous pictures for the live burn. Test results will be released in January 2010.
