California Adopts IRC Residential Sprinkler Requirement, Effective January 1, 2011 - (1/12/2010)

Today, the California Building Standards Commission approved a recommendation from the California State Fire Marshal's Office to adopt the IRC residential sprinkler requirement, effective January 1, 2011.  The Sprinkler Fitters Association of California (SFAC) participated in the task force that led to this important adoption. 

"This is a significant event that we hope other states and communities will follow.  The action taken today by the California State Building Standards Commission was a unaminous decision, which demonstrates that the safety of Californians and its visitors outweigh the politics surrounding this issue", said Stan Smith, President of the Sprinkler Fitters Association of California and the USA Sprinkler Fitters Association.
