City of Pittsburgh going 3rd party inspect on fire

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

Found out today that city of pittsburgh with all its budget cuts eliminated
its fire prevention inspectors most who were ready to retire and turned fire
inspection over to building inspection bureau who has no one at present
certified under ICC to due inspections for fire alarms,hoods sprinklers etc.
and we now have to use 3rd party service.
and there are very few 3rd party service available.
what a mess.
I can not bielive they did this knowing how much revenue they brought in
with inspections let alone give up the control on how systems are installed.
hopefully it will all be ironed out in a couple of months but till then who
knows.
