Mr. Reinhardt,
Actually, I will say that I agree the assessment presented by Mr. Leyton and Mr. Huggins. Manual Wet is permitted by code and standard. But to further the point, an Engine should be first to the scene. An engine has hose and pump aboard so that operations can commence. This is a very good reason to allow wet manual standpipes in low-rise buildings. This line of thinking should be considered, whether or not it is the opinion of the Chair that I am a bozo. (Me thinks that should be ruled out of order.) It should be recognized that the above is DEFINITELY MY opinion as a member of the NFPA, and has not been processed as a formal interpretation in accordance with the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects and should therefore not be considered, nor relied upon, as the official position of the the NFPA, nor any of their technical committees. Sincerely, Cecil Bilbo Director of Training and Education Fire Protection Group Shambaugh & Son, LP Champaign, IL [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
