Got a response off the listserv that suggested I obtain an engineer's certificate for the fire suppression system design and implimentation. Just wondering where I would get such a thing. Would some sort of 'approval' from the local fire suppression contractor be sufficient? Are there any Insurance people on the listserv who might know what the companies generally look for exactly? Thanks, Mark "Black River" Holland, MI

My insurance company required me to either remove it or or have it inspected. I ended up putting in a Fireboy halon-type system, but decided to keep the CO2 as well (can you say belt & suspenders?). I just looked in the yellow pages, found a local fire extinguisher shop which did restaurants, and had them inspect and repair the system. They installed all new nozzles, pressure tested the system, and rebuilt the pull box. Total cost was $638.28. Seemed like a good deal to me, especially since they also weighed and signed off half a dozen other extinguishers I had on board.
