The National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA), the longest-tenured fire sprinkler advocacy organization in the U.S., has released an emotional video, titled, “Empty Shoes, No Longer Filled with Dreams.” The 5-minute video, which premiered at NFSA’s recent Annual Seminar, highlights the tragic human toll of lives lost due to fire and the absence of fire sprinklers.
Created by Karen Alexander of the Tennessee Fire and Codes Academy with statistic additions by NFSA, “Empty Shoes” depicts the importance of fire sprinklers throughout the nation. The moving video shows empty shoes as a representation of the lives that were lost in fires where fire sprinklers were not in place.
