Home Fire Sprinkler Week: Raising Awareness with New Xplorlabs Resources
This Home Fire Sprinkler Week (May 10-16), check out Xplorlabs’ Fire Safety pathway that teaches students the science behind how fire sprinklers work and how to design fire-safe spaces.
Teaching students about safety starts with the science behind it.
Two years ago, Xplorlabs launched The Science of Fire Safety pathway to teach students the science behind how fire sprinklers work, how to design fire-safe spaces, and encourage exploration of a range of fire safety technologies.
The pathway and its resources were developed with the support of the National Fire Sprinkler Association and leveraging the expertise of both NFSA and scientists and researchers in ULRI’s Fire Safety Research Institute to educate students on the complex problem of fire safety and the nuanced solutions to designing fire-safe spaces.
In recognition of Home Fire Sprinkler Week, we invite you to explore several new video resources on the pathway created in partnership with NFSA and FSRI, including:
- Smoke alarms: How they work and where they’re located
- How residential fire sprinklers work
- Reducing fire damage with fire sprinklers
- Sprinkler myths: How sprinklers are activated
- Fire protection careers
- Sprinkler control systems: Simple design for residential systems
- Modern fire environment: Fire is fast, sprinklers are faster!
