NFSA-WI Conducts Survey

The National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA-WI Chapter) has been conducting a survey of fire departments and municipalities throughout the state in order to determine their important needs as well as the resources that NFSA-WI might provide to help upgrade safety codes. 

Thank you to the following fire departments and municipalities that have already completed the survey: Appleton Fire Department; Hartford, De Pere and Village of Pleasant Prairie fire and rescue departments; Watertown Building Safety; City of Two Rivers; Oak Creek; City of Hudson; Altoona; City of Madison; Germantown; Green Bay; West Bend; North Shore; City of Brookfield; Oakdale Area; Plymouth; South Milwaukee Fire Department; Spencer Fire Department and Ambulance Service; West Milwaukee; City of Waukesha; City of Wauwatosa; Menomonee Falls; Village of Sussex; Greendale, West Allis fire departments, Town of Buchanan Fire Dept. and Spencer Fire Dept. & Ambulance Service.

Through these surveys, fire and public officials have shared information such as: NFPA standards formally adopted by ordinance in their communities; NFPA 25 enforcement inspection procedures; fire department and/or municipal building fire sprinkler installation status or plans; and annual verification of fire pump test practices.

YOUR BROWSER MUST ALLOW POP-UPS IN ORDER TO LINK TO OTHER WEBSITES OR VIEW PDF FILES.
