Gee you really do hate Fire sprinklers.
Here is a great chance to learn about fire sprinklers and you want others to not do it .
What a sad strange life you lead .
Its coming where many homes will require fire sprinklers ,
Some areas now have them required now.
No you hate me and it shows frequently .
So you figure fireman should not try and educate people on how to save lives .
You are just a silly person who tries to control others.
May not you but others can sure make use of this knowledge in the future , A few have asked on this forum how to get educated in fire sprinklers
.
Michael why not grow up ,you say this should not be on this forum .
I think about 50% of what you post has nothing to do with home Inspections .
I got a great hobby it is upsetting Michael and it works very well thank you .
It puts a great smile on my face regularly .
Sorry to disappoint you Michael… Roy
this string is in the education section of NACHI .

Micheal , you need a chill pill . If information is out there for a course and a member thinks it may be useful then why summit your agenda . we have sprinklers here now in crawl spaces and i would expect coming soon in higher end homes . I worked on commercial sprinklers and panels . Education should not be blown off because you disagree with something .
Lawmakers want to implement fire sprinklers in homes for two reasons: money from the installers, and the saving of revenue from laid-off firemen, no equipment to purchase, no fire trucks to buy, no food to feed the firefighters, etc.
Fire sprinklers cause far more damage from failed, and leaking sprinkler heads and frozen/leaking water lines than from fires. Besides, how are the lawmakers going to find the money to hire hundreds of AHJ’s to monitor and approve of the installations, and annual service checks of these systems?
I would like to know why Fire Departments are pushing this if it is putting them out work? You do know Most Commercial buildings have sprinklers right? Funny in 23 years I seen only one dump system fail which was caused by a dummy pulling a card and shoving it back in . He was not following sop .
