I will say it more bluntley than previously stated: "mind your own dam business". A constant story line exists with owners and those in the industry who are constantly forced by government and the "politicatians and inspectors" (who are those individuals who fail at making a living in a capital system and revert to the accepting a nominal job with government - so they can feel important and punish people who have productive meaninful jobs). How many people do you know who graduated to become a politican, only a few. The majority sucked at there previous job so they became building inspectors or government employees.

The underlying issue and funding comes from insurance companies. The insurance companies are masters of capitalism and profit (at my expense..I may add). They have every reason to promote in home sprinklers. Only a fool would think insurance will decline even a token amount oon homes with sprinklers, but the insurance companies losses will profoundly fall. Imagine, I'll reduce your insurance cost, if you pay $5000 for sprinklers... great...$80 year savings. BUT, where then is a fire, the insuarnce company reudces there average claim $50,000. Smart.

I dont' need any idiot politican or activist to protect me. The issue of cost only relates to the insurance company. If my house burns, what does it cost the local government or fire deparment. A service call? So we should have 1 million home owners in my city pay $500M so the govenrment wont have to have as many employees? So the insurance companies can increase there profit 11 percent?

Mind your own business and leave people to manage there own risk. The insurance company will mitigate there risk and even now charges more when circumstances warrant.
