The Fountain Rural Fire Association & Farmville Fire Department have been awarded a $1,500 stipend from the nonprofit Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC). At the Farmville Dogwood Festival (Apr. 24-27) at the Farmville FD Station on N. Main Street, the Fountain Rural Fire Association and Farmville Fire Department will have a display set up to highlight benefits of home fire sprinklers. With the NFPA Fire Sprinkler Initiative, HFSC co-sponsors Home Fire Sprinkler Week, an educational program carried out annually. This will be during the week of May 11-17, 2025. โEvery community needs the facts about home fire sprinklers, including those in Eastern North Carolina,โ Fountain Rural Fire Association Chief Jonathan Landen said.
