Be sure to take a look at Firegeezer and his report on residential fire sprinkler legislation in Pennsylvania.
This is a battle we will be fighting for a long time, but, don’t give up and stay strong on this issue.
Stay safe and fight the good fight.
A few weeks ago I posted comments HERE about attempts in Mississippi to pass legislation that would prohibit the adoption of residential sprinklers.
I have received word today that efforts to stop those legislative actions have been successful. In the email I received from the MS Chiefs Association:
HB 1291–Relating to prohibiting adoption of ordinance requiring installation of sprinkler systems in certain dwellings by municipalities and counties. Died in committee.
SB 2079–Relating to prohibiting municipalities and counties from adopting any ordinance, bylaw, order, building code, or rule that requires installation of a multipurpose residential fire protection system in a family dwelling. Died in committee.
This is good news and a win for the “good” guys. Congratulations to the Mississippi Chiefs and all the supporters of residential sprinklers who helped in getting this legislation stopped.
Take care and stay safe. Sprinklers save lives.
I have just gotten word that there is a bill being proposed in the Mississippi legislature that would basically eliminate the chances for local jurisdictions to adopt residential sprinkler ordinances.
I don’t have all of the information on this as far as the particulars, but, if you live in Mississippi, contact your politicians and let them know you support residential fire sprinklers.
This comes on the heals of a multi-death fire that took place in Starkville, MS in an apartment fire. Nine people lost there lives in that fire, had it been sprinklered the result may have been different. Again, please let your politicians know you support residential fire sprinklers. Stay safe and be careful.
