Eric Skare, product manager, Fire Safety, at Uponor, was recently appointed to the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA) Residential Committee. In his role, Skare will provide expertise and guidance in the area of residential fire sprinkler systems.

A Certified Fire Protection Specialist (CFPS), Skare has also been a volunteer firefighter for more than eight years, and has a great passion for fire safety and the importance of residential fire sprinklers.
