Home improvement specialist Ron Hazelton hosted an interactive game called "Built for Life" at the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition booth at the International Builders' Show in Las Vegas. Meeting attendees lined up at the booth to answer multiple-choice questions about home fire sprinklers. If they answered correctly, they got to spin the wheels of a slot machine for a chance to win a flat screen TV, Nintendo Wii games, a Husky wrench set, or a Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition cap.
