BUILTFORLIFE FIREDEPARTMENTPROGRAM

The Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC) introduced the Built for Life Fire Department (BFLFD) program during the 2007 Fire Prevention and Safety Grant period to encourage more U.S. fire departments to make home fire sprinkler education a focus of their community outreach and to recognize those that pledge to do so.

For the 2008 grant period, HFSC aimed to further increase the number of fire departments participating in the BFLFD program and did so with the help of videos, a coordinating newsletter and blog, advertising and trade shows.

By grant closing, 495 additional fire departments joined the BFLFD program for a total of 1,771 Built for Life Fire Departments, an increase of 39% since the 2007 Fire Prevention and Safety Grant period. That brings the total number of fire departments teaching about home fire sprinklers to nearly 12%.

Fire departments that signed up for the BFLFD program during the 2008 grant period received a kit, which included the following:

• Fire and Sprinkler Burn Demonstration Kit • HFSC Public Education Kit • Certificate of participation • Built for Life Fire Department window decal • Built for Life baseball cap

HFSC selected and acknowledged 15 Built for Life Fire Departments that used materials to achieve a higher level of local fire sprinkler educational outreach as part of this program. Each fire department had the option to put their logo, website and phone number on one of two educational displays. One display was a consumer approach highlighting the benefits of home fire sprinklers. The second was a technical approach showing a fire timeline with supporting data.

The following Built for Life Fire Departments received a fire sprinkler banner display in recognition of their efforts:

• Arvada (Colorado) Fire Department • Chambersburg (Pennsylvania) Fire Department • Delaware Office of the State Fire Marshal • Enid (Oklahoma) Fire Department • Erie County (New York) Division of Fire Safety • Harrisonburg (Virginia) Fire Department • Liberty Township (Ohio) Fire Department All 15 banners were customized • Louisiana Office of the State Fire Marshal with the BFLFDs logo at the • Pocatello (Idaho) Fire Department bottom of the banner. • Prattville (Alabama) Fire Department • Rapid City (South Dakota) Fire Department • Sioux City (Iowa) Fire Rescue • Texas Office of the State Fire Marshal • Wellington-Napoleon (Missouri) Fire Protection District • Wisconsin Fire Inspector’s Association

FIRESERVICE IMPACTVIDEOS

HFSC created five, three-minute digital videos, which feature Built for Life Fire Department (BFLFD) testimonials and focus on key educational topics, HFSC materials and resources. Impact videos are developed so they can be easily e-blasted and linked to various online resources.

Four of the five impact videos serve to increase fire service participation in the BFLFD program and expand fire sprinkler education. The other impact video promotes HFSC’s SprinklerSmarts education program for children, so that fire service members can inform and encourage more schools to use www.SprinklerSmarts.org as part of fire safety activities.

Each impact video links to HFSC’s The Solution Fire Service e-newsletter, drawing fire departments to read more detailed information about home fire sprinklers. The impact videos also link to HFSC’s website and provide an opportunity to forward the videos to others.

The impact videos were e-blasted to members of the Built For Life Fire Department program and opt-in subscribers of the following national fire service trade publications:

• Firehouse: March, June, July and August 2010 e-blasts; 60,000 circulation each; resulting in 258,203 messages delivered, 22,511 opened and 2,302 click-throughs • Fire Chief: March and July 2010 e-blasts; 20,000 circulation each; resulting in 34,696 messages delivered, 6,782 opened and 831 click-throughs • FireRescue: August 2010 e-blast; 54,000 circulation; resulting in 54,469 delivered, 3,989 opened, 470 click-throughs

THESOLUTION FIRESERVICE E-NEWSLETTERANDBLOG

In order to educate members of the fire service about the latest news and information regarding home fire sprinklers, HFSC developed four digital e-newsletters that were e- blasted quarterly to members of the Built for Life Fire Department (BFLFD) program. The e-newsletters are also available online by accessing the fire service section on HFSC’s website.

The Solution e-newsletters provide detailed information and testimonials with advice to help fire departments:

•O vercome challenges from opposition to home fire sprinklers • Educate community members, elected officials, home builders and developers, water purveyors, home insur- ers, and real estate agents

As a supplement to the e-newsletter, a corresponding blog was created to keep fire departments updated more fre- quently than the quarterly distribution of the e-newsletter.

THESOLUTION E-NEWSLETTER FORHOMEBUILDERS

In order to educate homebuilders about the latest news and information regarding home fire sprinklers, HFSC developed two digital e-newsletters that were e-blasted with the impact videos to members of HFSC’s homebuilder database. The e- newsletters are also available online to other homebuilders by accessing the homebuilders section on HFSC’s website.

The Solution e-newsletters provide detailed information and testimonials to help raise home fire sprinkler awareness and alert homebuilders to the life- and property-saving benefits that fire sprinklers add to homes.

HOMEBUILDER ADVERTISING

HFSC developed a testimonial advertising campaign that spotlights home fire sprinkler advocates in the homebuilding industry who currently use HFSC materials to explain the benefits of fire sprinklers in homes they build or market. Homebuilders appear in two advertisements.

The single-page, four-color homebuilder ads appeared in the following national homebuilder trade publications:

Big Builder: January and June 2010 issues; 9,800 circulation for each issue Builder :January and June 2010 issues; 139,991 circulation for each issue BUILDERnews: June 2010 issue; 78,400 circulation Custom Home: January/February and May/June 2010 issues; 35,000 circulation for each issue Fine Homebuilding: February/March and June/July 2010 issues; 316,011 circulation for each issue GreenBuilder: June 2010 issue; 110,000 circulation Professional Builder: January 2010 issue; 120,613 circulation Residential Design & Build: January, June* and July* 2010 issues; 44,004 circulation for each issue

HOMEBUILDER/REALESTATEAGENT TRADESHOWS

HFSC promoted its materials and programs to homebuilders and real estate agents at the following conventions:

• REALTORS® Conference & Expo (NAR) - November 13-16, 2009 - San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA - 10 x 10-foot booth space

• International Builders’ Show (IBS) - January 19-22, 2010 - Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV - 50 x 30-foot booth space

The International Builders’ Show (IBS) was attended by over 60,000 members of the homebuilding industry.H FSC spokesperson Ron Hazelton hosted the interactive Built for Life game, which displays questions about home fire sprinklers. Homebuilders who answered questions correctly were able to spin a slot machine for a prize.

The grand prize for the Built for Life game was a flat screen high-definition TV, while other prizes included Nintendo Wii gaming systems, Husky stubby wrench sets and HFSC baseball caps.

Homebuilders waited in line for an average of 25 minutes to play the interactive game, increasing their knowledge about the benefits and technology of home fire sprinklers. They were also able to learn facts about fire sprinklers by using HFSC’s interactive 3D educational tool and watching videos in the booth.

In conjunction with IBS, HFSC also sponsored the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) 50+ Housing Symposium, which included two advertisements in 50+ Housing magazine (10,000 circulation) and a table- top display during the four days of educational sessions.

Between the homebuilder and real estate agent conventions, more than 639 leads were collected.

LIVINGWITHSPRINKLERSKIT FORCONSUMERS

The existing Living with Sprinklers Kit for consumers was created years ago to help homeowners who live in homes with fire sprinklers understand how the systems work and how to maintain them. The original kit included a video and hang tag.

Based on numerous requests for printed material, HFSC designed a new eight-page, four-color brochure and a 3 x 5-inch homeowner window decal.

The new brochure is a summary of the existing Living with Sprinklers DVD, explaining everything homeowners need to know about their fire sprinkler systems through text and illustrations. HFSC’s new window decal, which states, “Our Family is Living with Sprinklers,” can be placed on the front window of a home to let neighbors know a house is fire-safe.
