Question for group on Pull stations?

["Nick Markowitz" <nick-markowitz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi every one i am working on an article for Pa Fireman
Magazine do you think manual pull stations are becomming obsolete should we
still be installing them as back ups.
Personally checking with many AHJ around me none can ever remember a pull
station being pulled first in a fully protected building only a building
which had just pull stations for protection  manual system .The smokes
always activated first and pull stations were pulled after first alarm came
in.
mostly pull stations have been nothing more than false alarms for
communitys. for that matter do buildings that have only pull stations no
smokes give people a confidnce they think there fully protected  with a
automatic fire system when there not.

all comments are welcome even yours Robert.
