This side-by-side fire sprinkler demonstration will vividly show the dramatic difference fire sprinklers can make in saving lives and property
WOODLAND — Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue invites the public to witness a powerful and educational live fire demonstration during this year’s Planters Days celebration. The event will take place Saturday (June 21), immediately following the parade (shortly after 1:00 PM) at 2nd and Davidson in Downtown Woodland.
This side-by-side fire sprinkler demonstration will vividly show the dramatic difference fire sprinklers can make in saving lives and property. One structure will be equipped with fire sprinklers, while the other will not, offering a real-time comparison of how quickly fire can spread and how effectively sprinklers can contain it.
The demonstration will also be live streamed on Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue’s Facebook page, allowing those who cannot attend in person to still benefit from this important safety message.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), homes with fire sprinklers reduce the risk of dying in a fire by about 80%. This demonstration aims to raise awareness about the importance of residential fire sprinklers and encourage their wider adoption in our communities.
