The University of New Haven Fire Science Club teamed up with the Connecticut Fire Sprinklers Coalition to hold a side-by-side fire demonstration of residential sprinklers and non-residential sprinklered occupancies.
The event took place Oct. 8, in the Kayo parking lot at UNH. The goal of this event is to help to form new legislation requiring residential fire sprinklers in one and two family new construction occupancies. The demonstration was eye opening, as two rooms were lit on fire. The time duration and intensity of the fire was incredible as Fire Fighters moved in to put it out.
