The AFSA Virginia Chapter is proud to celebrate our participation in the 20th student-built home in Henrico County—an incredible milestone for both the Career & Technical Education (CTE) Building Trades Program and our Chapter!

This collaborative effort, powered by the talented students of Henrico County Public Schools, included a groundbreaking achievement: the first-ever residential fire sprinkler system installed by students!

We’re especially proud of AFSA VA Chapter Director Jeff Lewis, with VSC Fire & Security, for helping lead this initiative—and we’re thrilled to congratulate Jeff on being named the 2024–2025 Building Home Program Person of the Year!

We love seeing fire protection integrated into education and construction from the ground up. Here’s to building safer homes and stronger futures!
