What are my options ?

FM has not banned ESFR systems. They have just stopped recognizing the ESFR term. Many sprinklers you know as ‘ESFR’ they simply refer to as a ‘storage sprinkler.’ Likewise as Travis and Craig noted, there are some sprinklers they recognize as ‘storage’ that are not identified as ESFR by the manufacturer.
