YET ANOTHER EDUCATIONAL OPERTUNITY!! Maybe you could arrange a meeting or conference call with the AHJ, then invite someone like Roland to help explained that there are different types of sprinkler systems out there, and the one size service meets all is not going to work anymore. Help them form a new policy to deal with these "NEW" 13D and 13R systems.
