Mississippi SB 2079: Attack on Residential Sprinklers

I have just gotten word that there is a bill being proposed in the Mississippi legislature that would basically eliminate the chances for local jurisdictions to adopt residential sprinkler ordinances.

I don't have all of the information on this as far as the particulars, but, if you live in Mississippi, contact your politicians and let them know you support residential fire sprinklers.

This comes on the heals of a multi-death fire that took place in Starkville, MS in an apartment fire. Nine people lost there lives in that fire that had it been sprinklered might not have happen.

Again, please let your politicians know you support residential fire sprinklers.

Stay safe and be careful.
