Pleasent Good Morning to All: So, we have had the quarterly sprinkler inspection contract at a bank location (northern New Mexico) for the better part of three years. Bank built in 2002. Our inspector is retired local/city Fire Marshal and former State Fire Marshal - he has all of the training and sprinkler ITM certificates that one would like to see in a sprinkler system inspector.
The Fire Extinguisher tech (colleague of ours) was performing annual extinguisher inspection/service (yesterday 9/9/13) and noticed there were no sprinklers in the drive-thru tellers enclosure - oh, and no sprinklers under the drive-thru canopy. He informs the bank manager of this 'condition'. So what does the manager reply? Oh - let's get that taken care of immediately. Our friend the fire extinguisher tech brought the A&E drawings to our office and directed us to contact the facilities engineer to get started with design. Guess he wasn't too nervous about getting sued for pointing out design 'deficiency' from more than 10 years ago - he even contacted the local Fire Marshal to alert him the work would be forthcoming...Just reporting the facts, y'all.
