Legislative threat

New legislation is threatening the adoption of home fire sprinkler provisions for new one- and two-family dwellings. Across the United States, sprinkler opponents are pushing state legislation that would restrict a community’s ability to make its own decision about model safety codes for new construction. The legislation would prevent any community from implementing any new sprinkler mandates in one- and two-family homes. If it becomes law, such legislation will put lives at risk.

By getting involved, you can help make sure that this law does not pass. Below, you will find resources you can use to help educate others in your community about the issue and letters you can use to let your elected officials know that you do not support any statewide effort to prevent home fire sprinklers.
