As a volunteer fire fighter I will agree with you on that one. I often wonder why more people don't sue for damage, I guess there is little they can do. Some people in fire fighters actually have fun cutting holes where they don't need cut or flooding places with water they know don't need it. Our department is very good, but many of them are not concerned with the property at all. Once the department is called, we take control. I don't care if you have FM200 or not, we make sure there is no chance it will catch fire any time soon. -- Check out the new CLEC mailing list at http://www.robotics.net/clec ><> Nathan Stratton Telecom & ISP Consulting http://www.robotics.net [email protected] > -- > Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO > Affiliation given for identification not representation
