This episode of the #firesprinklerpodcast is my first onsite episode since 2019! Finally getting a chance to get onsite at the new Viking Headquarters in Caledonia, Michigan. 1st episode of 2 is ft. Rob Rudaitis from Viking. Rob was involved in the development of the Viking Virtual Valve Room. Which, much like it sounds, is a video game for sprinkler! I had a great time playing around with it, tripping and resetting various valves without causing any damage (that I know of..)

Enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think!

This episode of the #firesprinklerpodcast is in response to the news and social media articles that have been released about the Wal-Mart Distribution fire that occurred last week. We are not in the opinion that the fire fighters on scene made a mistake, but that more fire department education may be required regarding fire protection systems. In the end, zero fatalities and zero injuries means the system operated as intended. Enjoy!
