INFORMAL INTERPRETATION REQUEST FORM
A small change was made to the Informal Interpretation Request form
and the updated form will be available, as always, on the website at
www.firesprinkler.org
. The main change is that there will be only the standard five
business day turn around for interpretation requests. If you have an
urgent situation, please call us at 214-349-5965 at ext. 124. A form
will still be required if a letter from AFSA is requested. The
telephone discussion on your urgent situation will help technical
services prioritize the informal interpretation requests.
