Dousing the flames

By Josh Sweigart | Saturday, April 5, 2008, 06:00 AM

Received this e-mail from Utawna Leap:

I’m sure you’ve heard about the 2 firefighters killed in a house fire this morning. A fire sprinkler system would have saved their lives.

Leap is a major advocate of residential fire suppression sprinkler systems in new construction. You can read her story here.

Fire officials say it’s only a matter of time before these systems are required in all new home construction.

I find it comforting to know that Mr. Sweigart and the Journal-News can leap to a conclusion that the state is a year away from possibly making. Just another case of irresponsible and sensationalistic “journalism”. It is a disgrace to have even connected the two stories without all the facts and before those brave firfighters are even laid to rest.
