Ralph Foster, Stan Maciaszek, and Jamie Patterson were awarded the SFPE "Hats Off Award" in recognition of their exemplary work in leading the Chapter Project in which a fire sprinkler system was added to the Silver Bluff (SC) Fire Department. The system is not only a functional fire sprinkler system, but is also used as a teaching tool by the Fire Department.

Shown are Ralph and Stan accepting their plaques at the 2014 SFPE International Conference and Expo in Long Beach, CA. Jamie was unable to attend.

Congratulations, gentlemen, on a job well done!
