THE LATEST NEWS
Federal Tax deduction available for Small Businesses to install
Fire Sprinkler Systems
Fire service officials: Here’s some news that you can share with local small business owners to encourage them to install fire sprinklers.
Recent federal tax reform legislation — the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — includes incentives that make it more affordable for small business owners to install fire sprinklers. Fire sprinkler systems are the only tool that can reduce the spread of fire, heat and smoke in a building and contain the fire until the fire department arrives.
This provides valuable time for employees and customers to escape a fire.
(The National Fire Sprinkler Association spotlights the dangers of businesses not using sprinkler systems and showcases the benefits of the new federal fire sprinkler tax incentive. Courtesy of the NFSA and YouTube. Posted on Apr 19, 2018.)
Small businesses can now deduct the expense of installing a fire sprinkler system on their federal taxes.
Under Section 179 of the tax code, fire sprinkler installation can be expensed up to $1 million for each year of the expense.
This incentive makes it possible for restaurants, retail outlets, night clubs and other small businesses to install, retrofit or upgrade their current fire suppression systems.
Also, small businesses can deduct the interest from any loan they receive for this type of renovation.

Memo from LSFM Office Chief Delaune
Code Adoptions scheduled for 7/1/17
“Please let your membership know that at this time, the NFPA codes have already been adopted for July 1 implementation. They are published in the May Issue of the Louisiana Register, see pages 968 – 972 in the May edition here for a complete listing: http://www.doa.la.gov/Pages/osr/reg/regs2017.aspx .
The attached memo was distributed and placed on our website (see:www.lasfm.org/pr_announcements.htm ), however a couple of clarifications may be needed regarding the LSUCCC code adoptions. We will not know the status of the ICC 2015 code adoptions until the Louisiana Register is published on or after June 20th. The LSUCCC is also scheduled to meet next Tuesday for further discussions on this topic.
The changes in the adopted NFPA editions are expected to allow for current means and methods of construction and for the latest tested technology with very few threshold changes. In other words, we have not found anything in the newer editions that will prevent a building that is designed in accordance with the current editions to also comply with the newer editions. More options have been made available in these editions. As such, plans that are submitted to this office on or after July 1st will be reviewed in accordance with the 2015 edition of NFPA 101 and the referenced documents. We expect a smooth transition on July 1st. “

The Louisiana Fire Sprinkler Association is the voice of the merit shop automatic fire sprinkler contractor. In support of the merit shop objective, the LFSA promotes the development of educational and training programs to maintain the quality and effectiveness of automatic fire sprinklers in protecting lives and property, and provides programs to enhance ethical business practices. We work in cooperation and partnership with statewide AHJ's and support their children's educational activities to reinforce fire safety in homes, workplaces and schools.
