Follow these simple instructions to prevent water damage, expensive repair costs, and inadequate fire protection as the weather gets colder.

Detroit, Michigan (PRWEB) November 14, 2012

Follow Justins simple instructions to prevent water damage, expensive repair costs, and inadequate fire protection as the weather gets colder.

Get your system inspected Automatic sprinkler components are required to be inspected annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly, in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 25. More frequent testing may be required depending on your local authority having jurisdiction. If your wet sprinkler system contains an antifreeze solution, samples should be tested at multiple points throughout the freezing season to verify that the solution has not weakened. Dry systems should be fully drained, have any accumulated moisture blown out and then dried completely. Not only will an inspection by a qualified fire protection provider uncover any physical deficiencies with your system, it will also keep you in compliance with all applicable codes so you dont get fined.

Keep cold air out Be on the lookout for areas in your building that could let cold air in and increase your risk of freezing pipes. Broken windows, thin insulation, cracked walls and exposed roof areas are a few examples. Be sure to keep windows and doors closed when not in use for entering and exiting your building. Areas with sprinkler piping should be above 40 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. Cintas Fire Protection technicians complete building inspections for facilities with sprinkler systems prior to freezing weather, but conditions may change, so it is important to remain vigilant.

If something does go wrong, contact a repair specialist It is important to act fast if a problem occurs with your sprinkler system to prevent major damage to your facility. Cintas certified repair specialists are standing by 24-7 to respond to emergencies in the Detroit area within 48 hours much faster than the industry average.

Cintas Detroit Fire Protection Offers Tips to Prepare Your Sprinkler System for Winter

Whether to require new homes in Rifle to have fire sprinkler systems as of next year will be taken up by the City Council on Monday.

The issue was discussed by council, developers and a fire official at a Nov. 7 workshop.

The 2009 International Residential Code Rifle adopted a few years ago calls for the sprinkler system requirement to take effect in 2013.

Assistant City Manager Matt Sturgeon said every municipality in Garfield County, except Rifle, has opted out of the fire sprinkler requirement. An ordinance on the Nov. 19 agenda would remove the requirement for fire sprinklers for single- and two-family (duplex) residential units in Rifle. The council is meeting Monday, Nov. 19, since its regular Wednesday meeting is the day before Thanksgiving.

Realtor Glenn Ault said if the city requires sprinklers, new home prices will go up $10,000 to $15,000.

We, as developers, would never break even, he added. Right now, I can sell a 5-year-old home for less than what I can get for a new home. There's no incentive to build.

Real estate agent Jack Pretti of Rifle said while the life safety issues associated with sprinkler systems are not taken lightly, with no demand, there's no need to require the systems.

This should be a consumer choice, not a government mandate, Pretti added.

Sally Brands with JBS Construction said her insurance agent told her she would see a 10 percent reduction in an $800 insurance premium on a house with a system.

So you see it would take a very long time before you'd have enough savings to pay off the system, she said. I don't think there's any real cost benefit to requiring them.

I have a number of different pieces of winter wear, including a 350 down from Marmot, a shell from Mountain Hardware and some North Face stuff.

"Hello,I bought this jacket as a replacement for my favorite hoodie. It is really great because it has a wool exterior, synthetic fleece liner and a hood that is really funtional. I tend to wear it around the neighborhood and as an out door jacket. If it rains, the wool sheds in a really light rain, but it is trim enough to laver with a waterproof shell. This is where the hood is really great working well with a jacket hood.For inside, it is a little heavy and I #39;ll keep looking for a nice, lined hoodie for around the house.Cheers,Spencer from Portland."

2012 Grouse Hunt
What a great day hunting grouse. I got my bag limit in less then 4 hours. This year they were EVERYWHERE! I got the idea to hunt this area while I was shed hunting during the summer and kept startling birds. I actually grew to the point where i thought they were pretty damn annoying, which is a rare feeling because usually grouse are in low numbers. But with the fairly warm winter last year there was a high, healthy population of both Ruffed and Blue grouse. I have yet to get out for a second hunt, but I might go this weekend before it snows again. I #39;m not such a big fan of hunting birds in snow.. But before you call me a sissy.. I #39;ll brave a blizzard for the chance at some fresh deer or elk sheds. Enjoy the video, more to come!From:napp1993Views:0 0ratingsTime:03:48More inSports
