Editorial cartoon / satire: visual dialogue is satirical and is not presented as a verbatim quotation from any director, manager, owner, or contractor.
The satire is not directed at fire safety. It is directed at turning an easily administered compliance issue into a major controversy. A practical approach is to determine which units already possess compliant extinguishers, provide one where needed, and document compliance.
William Mills reports that when he served as Board President, the Association used a similar approach: owners who already had compliant extinguishers could confirm that fact, while owners who needed one could request one from the HOA. That historical account is presented as Mills’ account unless and until the underlying Association records are published.
