Re: The Fire Alarm experts Strike Again

["Roland Moore" <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can only relate to what I have experienced. If someone had just moved in
that means a new CO right? That means the AHJ must have just had it tested
and tagged in the not too distant past to obtain the CO. There had to be
some tags on the system if it was already installed showing last test date,
results etc. Seems that would be fairly fresh on everyones mind. This might
be a "whodunit" with an unhappy ending for someone.
