Honolulu has a new sprinkler law in place - 8 months after the deadly Marco Polo fire. Mayor Kirk Caldwell signed two bills into law yesterday afternoon. They do not mandate sprinkler installation but do provide tax breaks to encourage installation. At the signing, Mayor Caldwell expressed his desire to one-day see a mandatory sprinkler law.
The Conversation's Catherine Cruz talked with the President of the Hawaii Council for Association of Apartment Owners Jane Sugimura about the new law.
