What can you do?

Tell City Council members that you support the sprinkler retrofit bill and want to have life-saving fire sprinklers installed in residential high-rises to protect your family, community and the firefighters who protect you!

We have created three sample letters that you can use to show your support. Feel free to copy and personalize one of these “I support the sprinkler retrofit bill,” letters and forward to your City Council members via their online email contact form or regular mail. Council member contact information is listed below.

Thank you for your support in our efforts to protect Philadelphia High-Rise residents!
