In a press release published on March 9th, NFSA announced its support for legislation that ensures residents of Florida High-Rise Condominiums will be safe from unfriendly fire. SB 908 and HB 723 provides language adding fire sprinkler or engineered life safety system projects in existing high-rise condominiums.

On Monday, March 11th, a press conference was held in the Capital Rotunda in Tallhassee to introduce the legislation, brought forth by Florida Senator Hooper and Representative Donalds.

NFSA is proud to partner with our grassroots Chapter, the Florida Fire Sprinkler Association, on this outreach to help everyone understand the opportunity presented to Florida with this proactive legislation that does allow the condo associations and owners extra time to install the life-saving technology of fire sprinklers. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation is another key partner that we applaud for its involvement and efforts to ensure that firefighters are safe as they protect communities across Florida.
