Subject: RE: FPE Stamp required in CA?

In some jurisdictions they want an FPE's seal and signature, but it's
not by law.   By law, and FPE is required to sign/seal sprinkler and
fire alarm designs that aren't prepared by the installing contractor,
but that could also selectively be an ME or EE as well.   California
doesn't require and engineering license for code reporting or consulting, but 
there are certain aspects of technical work - like fire modeling for example - 
where you need to be licensed since it's
considered "engineering".   Unfortunately, cities here take significant
leeway with their privilege to require this or that and it's not as
consistent as we all wish.   But the bottom line is that you don't need
to be licensed (by law) to write a tech' report.

Subject: FPE Stamp required in CA?

I've got a question to those out west.  A fire protection report being 
submitted to Riverside County on a proposed simple little project, it has been 
stated that it must be stamped by an FPE, not just a PE.  Is this SOP?
