Topic:
Travel Funding Available for NV Members:
Final-Action Hearings on Residential
Sprinkler Initiatives
Intro: Fire Service participation is
essential to pass this revision, which
"strikes directly at the very heart of
America's fire problem" protecting citizens
and firefighters alike. The International
Residential Code Fire Sprinkler Coalition
(IRC) has funding available to help offset
travel and lodging costs to voting members
of the ICC (Airfare and 2 nights lodging).
There are only 4 things you need to do
to vote outlined on the attached FAH
Summary. Please be sure to use the Gov't
voter form--also attached--to update your
agency's voter information. Numbers of
voters per agency varies by population
served.
One of the most important
issues coming before the fire service at the
ICC Final Action Hearings to be held in
Minneapolis this coming September is a
proposal to add language to the
International Residential Code (IRC)
requiring residential fire sprinklers in all
newly constructed homes and townhouses.
Please have your list of FAH attendees
ready, as time is short.
When:
September 20-22, 2008
Where:
Minneapolis, MN
Website:
www.IRCFireSprinkler.org
Please feel free to contact Greg Victor,
IRC, with any questions:
