Vickie Pritchett became involved in the fire service in 1997. Vickie currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department. Vickie served as the Community Development Liaison for the Town of Pleasant View and Executive Director of the Joint Economic & Community Development Board of Cheatham County at the time she began her service to the local volunteer fire department. During this time she was instrumental in bringing fire service officials, builders and developers, and elected officials together. This coordination resulted in a zero square foot fire sprinkler ordinance for the town in 2001, and county-wide in 2006.

Vickie's dedication to the improvement of quality of life, passion for the community, and her ability to bring people together makes her the "spark plug" and advocate of fire sprinkler requirements at the local, state, and federal level. She has presented across the state of Tennessee and the nation. She has worked in Washington D.C. to promote fire protection issues and to highlight the differences that can be made by fire sprinklers and the legislation that requires them.

Vickie is a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University. She is a Board member of Cumberland Region Tomorrow, former class member, President and Trustee of Leadership Cheatham County, Board member of the Fire & Life Safety Section of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, Board member for The Phoenix Society, Steering Committee member of the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition and is a member of the NFPA and ICC.

Vickie currently serves as Project Manager for Fire Team USA, Facilitator of Common Voices, and Associate Director of Public Fire Protection with the National Fire Sprinkler Association.
