If you work in Florida you should know that the AHJ doesn’t have the final say. The code does. And while I agree that I would like to see sprinklers there, I need to know if they are required as this is a BID situation.

The argument for sprinklers is that if one car catches fire without sprinkler protection, you lose the entire building. Over 46 years working in Florida and I have always done it...AHJ will be the final word...but deleting them is bad Fire Protection in my opinion. John W.
