Welcome  from C.A.S.A. President, John Galt, CAE

Welcome to the web site of the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association, Canada’s fire sprinkler association. I invite you to look closely at the programs and services of the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association. Join us as we extend the benefits of automatic fire sprinklers to all Canadians, where we work, live and play.

Canada has one of the worst fire loss records in the industrialized world. Experts have estimated that the cost of fire in Canada is 11 billion dollars annually (1995). For this reason, C.A.S.A. has developed, as part of a National Public Awareness Campaign, a series of programs designed to lessen the impact of these staggering costs through the use of modern fire sprinkler technology.

Most Canadians tragically die from fires occurring in their own homes. To change this tragic fact, C.A.S.A. partners with several other associations and organizations to assist in making sure Canadians enjoy firesprinkler protection in their homes. This website links to most of these partners. I invite you to look closely, in particular at the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition. As a Steering Committee member, C.A.S.A. helps communicate a consistent public education message for all Canadians and throughout North America.

Your help is needed to work along with other Association members to see that these programs are implemented at the local level in a planned, progressive manner to augment present fire defense capabilities and to assist communities in their continuing efforts to reduce or stabilize the escalating costs of fire losses. I invite you to participate in the pursuit of our common goal -the conservation of life and property from fire.


C.A.S.A. President, John Galt, CAE
