The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) opened an additional public comment period on the revised NFPA 1917, Standard for Automotive Ambulances. The most recent document available on the NFPA web site incorporates revisions approved by the 1917 Technical Committee such as changes to maximum vehicle speed, seat belts, securing equipment, striping requirements, and more. This is the final opportunity for those interested in the proposed standard to submit comments. The Committee will review and act on all comments at an October meeting in Baltimore. Deadline for comments is August 30, 2011.
