Jim McLaughlin informed the audience about the changing of the Omega heads and certification of the fire sprinkler system.  He has been informed that certification of a fire sprinkler system with omega heads can not be done unless the heads are removed and replaced.  If you need more information, contact Jim.

Chief Coleman would like to pass along his thank you to the organization for the support in the past 6 years.

The Legislature is in session; local funding is an issue.  No bills have been introduced that are related to Fire Prevention.

The Federal leg has a House Resolution # 4229 – 21st Fire Safety Act the will provide funding for fire suppression and fire protection grants (big $).  Please contact your local representative and urge their support of this item.
