Sprinkler system saves historic Grapevine building
By CANDACE CARLISLE
GRAPEVINE — Simply Celebrations, a party-supply store on historic Main Street, has something to celebrate.
A fire Monday afternoon was quickly extinguished by a newly installed sprinkler system.
The system was required by an ordinance approved by the City Council in November to protect historic buildings and had been installed about six months ago.
The July meeting will be taking place at Love and War in Texas in Grapevine. A 1/2 Day Training will be provided. Review the training agenda here.
ICC and IRC Final Action Hearings
If you are interested in attending the hearings to support home fire sprinklers, please visit http://www.ircfiresprinkler.org and sign up for financial assistance immediately. ONLY 17 PEOPLE IN TEXAS HAVE SIGNED UP FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SO FAR. That kind of turnout is not going to achieve our goal of getting home fire sprinklers into the Residential Code! In addition to the financial assistance being provided by the IRC Fire Sprinkler Coalition, FPANT is providing $200 travel expense checks on a first come, first served basis to the first 11 FPANT members who receive financial assistance confirmation from the coalition to cover all other travel costs. Also, don’t forget to visit www.iccsafe.org to register for the hearings. Minneapolis will be the best chance that we have ever had to get home fire sprinklers mandated in the Residential Code! Please do your part to help by signing up, attending, and voting!
FPANT's Position Statement on the Non-Compliant UL 300 Kitchen Hood Extinguishing Systems Review the position statement and recommend compliance and corrective actions on January 1, 2008.
