The week unites the fire service in the effort to increase awareness of home fire dangers to civilians and responders and facts about installing fire sprinklers in new homes.
According to HFSC:
- Without sprinklers, today’s home fires become deadly in as little as two minutes.
- These fires put residents and firefighters at risk from toxic smoke, heat and flames.
- With sprinklers, in a home fire the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate when the temperature reaches about 165F.
- The sprinkler will spray water directly on the fire, controlling or putting it out. In most home fires just one sprinkler activates.

Fairfield Plantation Fire Rescue is committed to being an active member of the community we proudly serve in so many ways. Fairfield Plantation Fire Rescue responds to a number of different emergencies beyond just calls for fires. Our personnel are highly trained in firefighting, emergency medical treatment, automotive extrication rescues and so much more.

As well as responding to emergency calls for help, the fire department also responds to a number of different types of non-emergency calls for assistance.
Along with responding to calls, the fire department is also working behind the scenes in several different ways to keep the community safe. Public education, disaster and severe weather preparedness, safety inspections, and fire prevention inspections are just a few of the behind the scenes activities we do.

The State Fire Marshal and Safety Fire Commissioner has deputized the Fairfield Plantation Fire Rescue Fire Marshal to investigate fires for arson and to determine the origin or cause of all fire incidents; implement and enforce the State of Georgia’s Rules & Regulations and State Minimum Fire Safety Standards. The Fire Marshal’s office performs yearly fire inspections of all public buildings, performs in home fire and safety inspections at the request of residents, organizes public education and fire prevention events, and instructs public fire prevention and CPR classes. A working smoke alarm can mean the difference in life and death, so the fire department also routinely installs smoke alarms to those in need.
