The bucket test has been around for a long time. May have originated in Cobb County - then again, I do not know for sure. The best thing you can do to convince the AHJ that it is not necessary is to go back to the report on Proposals and Comments for NFPA 13R. I BELIEVE IN THE 90'S. There have been proposals to the committee requiring the bucket test that have been rejected. If the AHJ won't buy this, you have to call it the cost of doing business (unfortunate but true)
