Re: "Central Station Service" Poll

["Al Colombo" <securitymission@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Another way to put it is some AHJs require the moon and the sun so to
cover their butts if "anything" should go wrong.  I wonder whether
they'd rethink their position on this if they had to pay out that kind
of cash for a fire alarm system.  Perhaps they'd think twice about
making others do it when it's not really necessary.

I'm all for fire safety, but I'm not especially keen on throwing
dollars needlessly at an installation just so an AHJ can feel
comfortable at night when they go to bed :-).  At the same time, I've
seen AHJs who require very little.  There ought to be a balance (while
still observing code) with a good helping of common sense thrown in to
boot.
