The Division of Public Safety will host the annual “Sprinklers Save Lives” event on Friday, September 29, from 10-11:45 a.m. on Hamilton Field, east of 40th Street between Locust Walk and Walnut Street. A Safety Fair will be followed by a Side-by-Side Dorm Room Burn demonstration (see image) which will take place at 11:30 a.m. Attendees will see how an investment in sprinklers saves lives and protects property and processes. This portion of the program is a collaborative effort among the DPS, the Philadelphia Fire Department and the PenJerDel Chapter of the National Fire Sprinkler Association. Following a brief press conference, a raffle will be held for prizes.
