American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA)

Throwback to AFSA43 in Denver, CO! We’re excited to highlight our amazing team members, MaryCatherine Coyle and Timothy Loscomb, who represented Eagle Fire at the annual convention of the American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA)! AFSA43 is a premier event for the fire sprinkler industry, bringing together contractors, designers, manufacturers, and authorities having jurisdiction. The convention featured the latest technology in fire sprinklers, educational seminars, and networking opportunities, along with the highly anticipated apprentice competition. Timothy Loscomb serves as 1st VP of the American Fire Sprinkler Association Virginia Chapter and Eagle Fire’s Regional Sales Manager, while MaryCatherine Coyle took on the roles of the AFSA VA Chapter's Social Media/Marketing Coordinator and Eagle Fire’s Talent Acquisition Manager. In Denver, they were recognized along with the rest of their AFSA VA Chapter where they received an award for their exceptional efforts in education and community outreach. Together, they participated in impactful seminars, connected with industry peers, and gained valuable insights to future products or changes coming for our industry. As a first-time attendee, MaryCatherine was awarded a scholarship to attend and had great things to say about the relationships built and information shared by many. "AFSA43 was an incredible experience! The relationships I built, the valuable insights I gained about fire sprinklers industry, and the unforgettable memories made as a first-time attendee truly enriched my passion for the industry.” Timothy added, “It is a great learning experience interacting with other fire sprinkler companies from around the country, with the same goal of saving lives and property using fire sprinklers.” Thank you, MaryCatherine and Timothy, for your dedication to Eagle Fire and your contributions to the advancement of the fire sprinkler industry! #EagleFire #AFSA43 #FireSprinklerIndustry #ApprenticeCompetition #InnovationInSafety

Investing in home fire sprinklers not only protects lives but also helps families return to their homes after a fire, often with most belongings intact. With an average installation cost of just $1.35 per sprinklered square foot—similar to what you might spend on upgraded carpet or a whirlpool bath—it's a small price for peace of mind and life-saving measures in the event of a fire. Statistics show that when a home is equipped with a fire sprinkler system, the risk of dying in a fire decreases by about 80%. Plus, these systems are effective in both cold and warm climates, with guidelines in place to prevent pipes from freezing. Just like winterizing your domestic water supply, you can ensure your fire sprinkler system is ready for winter. And remember, many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with fire sprinklers, making it an even smarter investment for your family's safety. Next time you're renovating or building a home, get a quote for fire sprinkler system installation. It's worth it. #firesafety #firesprinklers #fireprevention #insurance

As Fire Prevention Week comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to double-check your home’s smoke alarms and install alarms where they are not present. For maximum protection, smoke alarms should be installed inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of your home—including the basement. Remember, they need to be tested regularly and replaced every 10 years to ensure they’re working when you need them most. Fire safety is a year-round priority. Let's stay vigilant and keep our homes and families protected! #FirePreventionWeek #firesafety #smokealarms #homesafety

Yes, age matters. Smoke alarms expire every 10 years, yet many homeowners aren’t aware that simply having one installed may not be enough to keep them protected. Don’t just assume your alarms will alert you in the event of a fire—make them work for you by checking their age and replacing them every decade. Regularly testing and maintaining your alarms can mean the difference between life and tragedy. Take a moment to ensure your home’s smoke alarms are up-to-date. A simple action today could save lives tomorrow. #firesafety #smokealarms #fireprotection #fireprevention
