FYI, the way ND works is most larger cities and counties have their own "Home Rule Charters" where they can add/change/ignore any of the state adopted International Codes as they see fit. For the rest of the areas, they are governed by whatever the state adopts, but there rarely is any enforcement.
Of course if the state doesn't adopt the residential sprinkler portion of the codes, the people against sprinklers will use that stance as an additional argument against home sprinks as it comes up in each city's code adoption process. ....now back to getting the pins in those maverick extinguishers while wading through chest deep foam.

The rumor is that their husbands are contractors. The Grand Forks Fire Marshals office is very concerned that this bill will pass. However the wording is such that the cities will have the last word. We are helping in a effort to defeat this bill by supplying information as to cost and benefits of sprinklers systems in homes. This effort is being lead by the Fire Marshals themselves. I wish there was a way to stop Hollywood from constantly setting off deluge systems as if the are standard sprinkler system. I have had to explain this so many times. Once again the sheep follow.
