Fire Sprinkler Fitter’s Follies

Submission Deadline: June 2, 2025 (Please contact us for possible extensions.)

FPC/Fire Protection Contractor magazine will be featuring Fire Sprinkler Fitters with a look at ‘Fitter’s Follies’ in our July 2025 edition, and we’d appreciate your input!

Please send us short stories, articles, anecdotes, and/or just a photograph with a caption. Articles should be 600-800 words or less.

We would love to hear about practical jokes, funny stories, an “oops!’ moment, or other such goings-on involving fire sprinkler fitters.

Stories, articles, and anecdotes may include:

• A “Then vs. Now” article, or “When I started in this industry…”

• A story about an old fire sprinkler installation.

• A story about your first job, mentor, and/or coworkers.

• How you came to be in the fire sprinkler industry.

• All ideas and thoughts are welcome.

Please send items and any related photographs by June 2, 2025. Please let us know if you plan to send us something for this or a future edition; deadline extensions may be available. (Items received late may be published in a future edition.)

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours, for a better fire sprinkler industry,

Brant R. Brumbeloe, Editor
