FPC will once again be featuring fire sprinkler industry History and Historic Photos in our March 2025 edition, and we would appreciate your input!
Please send us short stories, articles, anecdotes, and/or just a photograph with a caption. All items must be related to the fire sprinkler industry (from the year 2010 or older). Articles should be 600-800 words or less.
Or, just send a photo and a caption; or e-mail a few comments about how things were.
You may send original photos and they will be scanned and returned, or you may e-mail us hi-resolution electronic files in .jpg or .tif format.
Stories, articles, and anecdotes may include:
* A “Then vs. Now” article, or “When I started in this industry…”
* A story about an old fire sprinkler installation.
* A story about your first job, mentor, and/or coworkers.
* All ideas and thoughts are welcome.
Please send items and any related photographs by February 5, 2025. Please let us know if you plan to send us something for this or a future edition; deadline extensions may be available. (Items received late may be published in a future edition.)
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours, for a better fire sprinkler industry,
