Lake Valley Fire Protection District to adopt new Fire Code

Lake Valley Fire Protection District (LVFPD) has posted a notice of intent to adopt the 2022 Fire Code Ordinance.

LVFPD will hold its first public hearing at 5 p.m. on Thursday, December 8 at it Station 7 at 2211 Keetak Street, Meyers.

The hearing is being held regarding the adoption of the 2022 Fire Code Ordinance pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 13869 and 13869.7. Copies of the code section referred to and any secondary code sections referred to, adopted by reference, are on file with the Secretary of the District and are open to public inspection.

Adoption of the Fire Code Ordinance will adopt the California Fire Code as currently published in Title 24, Part 9, of the California Code of Regulations, governing fire prevention and building standards related to fire and panic safety with some amendments.

In some instances, the Lake Valley Fire Protection District's proposed Fire Code Ordinance proposes building standards more stringent than those minimum building standards adopted by the State Fire Marshal and contained in the California Building Standards Code.
