Please forgive my use of fire alarm and smoke detector when I meant to say "smoke alarm"...

The NAHB now takes the position that smoke detectors are doing a great job and we don't need the additional protection from sprinklers added to requirements for homes. I'd like to be able to read what they used to say about smoke detectors... ;-) David W. S.
