Donated sprinkler system honors fallen firefighter

摘要

In January 2007, Ted Abriel, a firefighter working as an acting lieutenant for the Albany Fire Department died of a massive heart attack while fighting a blaze in the upper stories of a high-rise apartment building. This fall, Capital City District Habitat for Humanity partnered with Tyco Fire Suppression and Building Products (a division of Tyco Intl.), local contractor Albany Fire Protection and others to finish work on "The Ted Abriel House," the first it has constructed to feature a residential fire sprinkler system.
