New York State regulators are expected to vote on Friday,
May 15, on a measure that will require the installation of fire sprinklers in
all new one- and two-family homes and townhomes built in New York. NYSAR
supports fire sprinklers and consumer education about the benefits of a
sprinkler system, but is opposed to mandating their installation. NYSAR
has launched an all-member Call for Action opposing the proposed mandate. Take

NYSAR also launched a media campaign including a
radio commercial, newspaper ads and a website in opposition to this mandate on
Monday, February 2. A link to the radio commercial and more information including
fire sprinkler facts and poll results can be found at
