The AFSA Story

The American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) is a nonprofit, international association representing merit shop fire sprinkler contractors dedicated to the educational advancement of its members and the promotion of automatic fire sprinkler systems.
AFSA was organized in 1981 to provide merit shop fire sprinkler contractors with training, consulting, communication, representation, and many more services, all of which have expanded over its existence.
