FWIW, I am intrigued enough by this that I decided to reach out to SBFD and inquire as to their position (if any) on this proposal. I just sent the following email to several of their fire prevention / inspections / public info people. If/when I hear back, I'll update you all. Or heck, maybe one of them will sign up for an HN account and post something. That would be interesting. ---- > SBFire: > Hi, I have a question I hope you can help me with.
