In the spirit of the holidays I would like to share something submitted by Andrew Barr, Senior Fire Systems Engineer of the McKinney, Texas fire department:
T'was the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Everyone was sleeping, even the mouse.
When all of a sudden, there appeared some light smoke,
Then the smoke alarm sounded and everyone woke
Off in the distance, a fire began to grow
When all of a sudden, it started to slow,
Then what to my wondering eyes did appear?
A group of firefighters, in full turnout gear!
And I heard one exclaim to the others with a shout
"THIS HOME HAS SPRINKLERS, THE FIRE IS OUT!
As they drove away, they were all full of cheer,
Knowing that fire sprinklers work every day of the year!
A special thanks to Andrew Barr for this contribution in the interest of fire safety. A special thanks to all the advocates in the field who work all year to keep communities safe from fire. Your passion and your dedication do not go unnoticed.
Happy Holidays!!!
