calling names im good. How are you. Good. Im rue been i have 3 seven years in the Fire Services and 15 years as the fire chief in the city of paling to and then director of calfire. During my time there we started up one firefighter system so i had the installation and training and ongoing maintenance of a system as far backing back as the 1990s.

Option for 75 to 1 hundred feet to pick between the elevator or the system. For the current code cycle or are you talking about history.
