No sprinklers installed before #HolyokeMA #fires — and none required “The Holyoke Fire Department would like to have sprinklers in all our buildings, but we are bound by the building code and the law,” said Capt. David Rex https://t.co/Qpr8VU6gs2

Getting ready to talk #fastestwater with county government officials at the National Assoc of Counties event in Austin TX this weekend. Fire sprinklers are sustainable and saves lives and property! @NfSAorg

I agree wholeheartedly with this law suit. It's about time, someone has the fortitude to pursue this. Hopefully it will has a positive outcome and set a new case law for others to come.

Crews respond to 2-alarm fire at Tavern on the Hill in Easthampton https://t.co/IDp6P4edTL WHEN IT'S REBUILT, INSTALL FIRE SPRINKLERS AND THE OUTCOME WILL BE DIFFERENT.

[Shane Ray @chiefrays]

All of these former owners and former building officials should be counting their blessings that no occupant or firefighter died. Great reporting of past decisions on fire and life safety. @TownofNantucket should preserve history and protect guests. @NFSAorg won’t stay there.

Hopefully fire sprinklers were included in this new home... ... ?

[David LaFond @DavidLaFond2]

Typical from the NRA and it's high paid Attorneys. How much did the NRA spend over the last 10 years thwarting efforts to enact common sense gun laws? NRA is the Nation's largest paying lobby. Money over lives... ... ...
