Everyone, We are in the sprinkler debate as it goes live tomorrow here in Michigan in front of the code review committee. We know the MAHB has a pretty tight control on the committee and have been doing an excellent job of controlling the media.
The fire inspectors are leading the coalition and many contractors and associations will be there. Information on the great debate has been captured at http://michiganfireservice.com/your-help-is-needed/374/ I can try to update the list in the next day as how we are coming along. If you are in the area and can stop by the hearings we appreciate the support. If you were at the ICC hearings last fall you can see the opposition that is out there and how active our anti-sprinkler people are in the state. Should be fun!
