Since 1997, a group of volunteers from the MN Chapter of the National Fire Sprinkler Association has been working hand-in-hand with the MN State Fire Marshal’s office and Regions Hospital to host a golf event to raise money to benefit the Regions Hospital Burn Center.  In 2018, the Burn Aid Foundation officially became a 501(c)(3) charity and we continue to operate solely as volunteers from these same three great organizations. Our annual Golf Outing is a great opportunity to enjoy a fun-filled day of golf, networking, and friendly competition. We hope you can make it!

Codes & Standards Updates for 2025

Stay up-to-date with important changes in fire protection standards! This session highlights key updates in the 2025 edition of NFPA 13, including new Listing requirements for Fire Protection Air Compressors and the adoption of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technology, which now allows a Hazen-Williams C-Factor of 120 for new systems. Additionally, we’ll review the 2024 NFPA 14 requirement mandating supervisory air for all dry standpipe systems. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how these updates impact design, installation, and compliance for fire protection air supplies.

Grand opening event with demonstration at 5:00pm.

Campus Fire Safety Day is an educational event dedicated to raising awareness about fire prevention and life safety for students, faculty, and staff. The program includes live demonstrations, interactive displays, and valuable resources on topics such as cooking safety, evacuation planning, and the importance of fire sprinklers and smoke alarms. The goal is to equip the university community with practical knowledge and skills to reduce fire risks and respond effectively in an emergency.

Description: Wildfire is no longer an occasional threat- it’s a constant one. Recent fires in Los Angeles served as a real-world test of exterior wildfire defense systems, offering important lessons about what worked, what didn’t and why. This session will share key takeaways from homes protected by Frontline, including system successes, challenges and why some properties were lost. We’ll also cover how wildfire spreads in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), the role of passive vs. active mitigation strategies and how exterior sprinkler systems are emerging as a critical piece of the puzzle. For fire sprinkler contractors, this represents a growing opportunity to expand into exterior wildfire protection- a natural extension of their existing expertise and a way to meet increasing demand in high-risk regions.

Please join us for the September Minnesota Chapter Meeting!

The Minnesota Chapter of NFSA meets every other month and invites all sprinkler industry and fire service professionals as well as fire sprinkler advocates to join us!  We'll have updates from the sprinkler industry, the MN legislative lobbyist, Sprinkler Fitters Local 417, and the State Fire Marshal, as well engaging discussions that shape the direction and goals of our Chapter.  A plated dinner will be served for in-person attendees, and a virtual option is offered for remote attendees.  It's a great group, an informal gathering, and a wonderful opportunity to learn, network, and share. 

For in-person attendance, please RSVP to Tom Brace no later than September 5 for the meal count. Brace@nfsa.org

NFSA will present a Side-by-Side Live Fire Sprinkler Demonstration on Friday, September 19, at 5:00 PM.
This powerful demonstration showcases the dramatic difference a residential fire sprinkler system can make in a home fire. Experience the intensity of heat, the speed of fire development, and the life- and property-saving benefits of fire sprinkler protection.

Two identically furnished living rooms will be set on fire—one protected by a single residential fire sprinkler, the other unprotected. You'll witness how quickly a smoke alarm and sprinkler activate to control the blaze in the protected room. In contrast, the unprotected room will reach flashover in under three minutes, at which point the Pequot Lakes Fire Department will respond to extinguish the fire.

Don’t miss this impactful and educational experience—see you in Breezy Point!

Stop by the Victoria Fire Department's Open House for an interactive experience as you meet our local heroes and learn how you can prepare for fire emergencies at home! Hands-on activities hosted throughout the night include riding in a fire truck, trying out your skills with a fire hose, and making your way through a smokey house. Enjoy other free activities for the whole family!

Safety demonstrations at the Fire Station will include showing how a real-life grease fire can get really big, really quickly, how the firefighters use the jaws of life to rescue occupants of a car, and how first responders can use a drone in the skies of Victoria to aid in identifying fire locations in a burning building as well as help with search and rescue operations.

NFSA staff members will conduct a live-fire “side-by-side” demonstration at this open house.  There is no better way to witness the ravages of fire or the life- and property-saving benefits of a residential fire sprinkler system! Feel the heat, see how fast fire is, and witness how rapidly a fire is contained by the activation of a single fire sprinkler!  Two living rooms will be lit on fire and allowed to burn.  One living room is protected by a single fire sprinkler. You'll see just how fast smoke alarms and the sprinkler operate to keep your family safe!  The other living room is unprotected, and you'll see how fast and deadly fire can be. The un-sprinklered room will be consumed in a "flashover" in less than 3 minutes, and we'll watch the Victoria Fire Department respond and extinguish what's left of the room.

Description: It’s been over 10 years since NFPA 13 prohibited the use of nonlisted antifreeze in new systems, three years since the launch of the first UL listed antifreeze, and mere months since NFPA 25’s sunset date for nonlisted antifreezes. But in between all of that, several more listed antifreezes have become available to the market and new editions of NFPA Standards have been published, some of which included changes related to antifreeze system requirements. This webinar will review the key items fire protection industry professionals should understand about ensuring safe and compliant antifreeze systems. We’ll cover topics such as UL 2901, NFPA requirements for new and existing antifreeze systems, ITM of listed antifreeze systems, and more.
