Bobby McCullough Atlanta Sprinkler Inspection [email protected] From: Ben Lohman [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: City of Canton/Sprinkler Inspection If you would send this message out to the GFIA ....Like to encourage all members to attend. A property owner/manager has challenged the requirements of the State of Georgia (Georgia Fire Laws and Regulations, Title 25) which states, one must have the experience, have worked for a definite time period for a Licensed Sprinkler firm, and have passed a NICET level 3 test, before you can certify a sprinkler system. This will be a landmark decision if decided in favor of the defendant. This could result in legal challenges to every Fire department in the Great State of Georgia. We, as Fire Inspectors do not need any unnecessary challenges to do our job especially dealing with the operation of a sprinkler system in a life safety situation. The Annual inspection and re-certification of Sprinkler systems is critical, with most businesses trying to tighten up their bottom line, its not a welcome expense, but must be maintained if the business is to remain open. The court date for the Motion Hearing is slated for January 15, 2010, at the Canton City Hall Municipal Court... _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
