A major announcement came from Gold Seal Homes in Carstairs, November 15. VP of Operations, Murray Pound, says they've been putting sprinklers in all their homes for about four years, and now another developer has jumped on board to do the same thing. Pound says they're very excited about the news.

Pound says there's more and more talk about all developers adopting the practice of mandatory residential fire sprinklers in their new homes.

Murray compares a home without fire sprinklers to a car without air bags, saying that having them is simply the right thing to do. He remembers one of their clients losing their home to a structure fire years ago. Witnessing the pain and anguish they suffered rebuilding their home played a big role in why fire sprinklers are part the Gold Seal blueprint.
