You make an easy argument for large cities. The problem is when you get into heavily rural areas. Like the kind of places that are 2 hours away from anything. Like where you go to the coffee shop and they don't have internet there yet. Don't think they don't exist. I was there 2 weeks ago.
Every place does not have the funds and the time. Heck, they may not even have a building over 4 stories in 30 miles making many of the newer rules less pertinent in many of their minds. I do like your zeal and I do agree. Many cities do drag their feet and in the meantime, buildings burn and lives crumble. ᐧ On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 8:11 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm sorry for my grammar and autocorrect as this is coming from my phone. > > How does the forum feel about ignoring the more stringent requirements of > the most current NFPA standards all because the AHJ hasn't adopted the > latest year?
