The National Fire Protection Association launched a campaign featuring burn victims, relatives of fallen firefighters, and others affected by fires, who spoke in favor of sprinklers for new homes. The "Faces of Fire" campaign will be featured in commercials and billboards statewide in an effort to drum up support for the new code in South Carolina where there is a debate over whether all new homes built in South Carolina should include fire sprinklers as required by the International Residential Code.
