  • This is a link to an article by Art Cote, in the Fall 2008 edition of FPE Magazine, which is published by the SFPE: http://www.mikeholt.com/newsletters.php?action=display&letterID=628&email=james_nasby@csi.com#comments

    Mr. Cote was with the NFPA for many years. This article delineates the history in more detail, and I believe is more authoratative.

    Best regards . . .
