As a strong advocate for residential sprinklers, we have sponsored legislation in the Maryland General Assembly to prohibit local jurisdictions from removing residential sprinkler requirements from the Maryland Building Performance Standard. House Bill 366 is currently on the floor for consideration and we are getting some opposition from those who advocate local government control. This is not about control. This is about life safety for both citizens and firefighters.
We need everyone to contact your Delegates by phone, fax, or email and demand that they vote in support of House Bill 366. The safety of the public and our fellow firefighters depends on it!!!!!
