You better be careful, the AFSA A Team van may soon be parked outside
your house....
Another benefit of AFSA membership is that you dont have to wear a dunce
cap at the convention.

Dead Bob is a consultant. He is one of the folks that writes
"opinions" for questions like yours. I doubt that this would ever be a
large enough question for a formal interpretation but I must admit
that I'm not 100% on the procedure for that. Bob doesn't engage on the
forum any more but I've been in a room with him and Roland and they're
quite civilized and even act friendly to each other. Never can tell
what the result might be if you can get some of the players in this
incestuous little industry talking amongst themselves. And don't you
feel a little guilty not belonging to AFSA after using so many of
their electrons?

In his letter he states that he is an "NFPA Consultant"... so not an actual
official is what your saying?

I think that NFPA is forwarding emails they receive through this system to
select committee members.
That is why you were under the impression that Caputo is NFPA. He is a committee
member, not a representative of NFPA. (unless something has changed).

Is Bob's letter to you a formal interpretation or informal?
It was my understanding that single committee members do not have standing to
issue formal interpretations, only the committee could.

I did go that route... I instead received a response from Mr. Caputo with
NFPA
and he informed me that per 2002, "...the small rooms rule is not applicable
to
the design consideration for residential occupancies." Unless I am wrong,
(which I frequently am) although he (Roland) is a committee
member of the TCC for NFPA, he is with AFSA. Trust me, I would LOVE to get
an
"official" response from Mr. Huggins! How would I go about getting one from
AFSA (i.e. Roland) ?
But I do think I will forward some excerpts of this thread and see where
that
gets me. (probably nowhere that I want to be...)

NFPA has an email accounts setup for all NFPA codes where you can submit
questions and receive code interpretations and technical answers. The format
is
setup as [email protected]. Replace the # with the code you are inquiring about.
For example, if you have a question related to the sprinkler code, you would
submit your question to [email protected].
Then Roland can 'officially' respond.
