Matt, I have seen this many times. Some of the time it is an educational opportunity for the AHJ on what is allowed, when etc. Many times the reasoning has been the lack of enough or proper apparatus at the responding FD disposal. We do the work on one university that won't allow manuals anymore because "we only have one pumper truck and don't want any more manuals."
