<p>Mr. McNulty, I read your comments with interest and I assume what you are talking about is something new and potentially a good idea - an automated process that for ensuring fire safety equipment within a jurisdiction is periodically tested and reported as required in a manner that enhances compliance, documentation and reliability while while reducing a fire department's labor requirement. It sounds like the idea of third party online electronic reporting program for fire safety systems…</p>
<p>Mr. McNulty, I read your comments with interest and I assume what you are talking about is something new and potentially a good idea - an automated process that for ensuring fire safety equipment within a jurisdiction is periodically tested and reported as required in a manner that enhances compliance, documentation and reliability while while reducing a fire department's labor requirement. It sounds like the idea of third party online electronic reporting program for fire safety systems may have tremendous merit, but will it work in practice is the big question. It seems for this to be successful, a lot of inertia may have to be overcome and a major paradigm shift in thinking made by all stake holders: local jurisdictions (fire marshals to city councilmen), property owners, and industry representatives (service companies, insurance providers, equipment makers) for them to realize it could be a win-win for everyone. A lot of old dogs will have to learn some new tricks. I wish you success. </p>

<p>LeRoy,</p>
<p>It sounds like you made a very difficult and mature decision in deciding to retire so that this program could continue so even in your retirement you continue to serve your community this time by your absence. I found your description of this technology to be extremely interesting and would encourage you to write more on it if you're interested perhaps for fire apparatus and equipment magazine or fire engineering. I think as time goes on people are becoming more and more…</p>
<p>LeRoy,</p>
<p>It sounds like you made a very difficult and mature decision in deciding to retire so that this program could continue so even in your retirement you continue to serve your community this time by your absence. I found your description of this technology to be extremely interesting and would encourage you to write more on it if you're interested perhaps for fire apparatus and equipment magazine or fire engineering. I think as time goes on people are becoming more and more accustomed to using electronic mediums such as the Internet and other tools to do what used to be done by paper and pencil. This trend is only going to continue to gain acceptance in widespread use. Thank you for a fantastic blog and for your willingness to put your communities welfare and safety ahead of your own personal interests.</p>
