FIRE PREVENTION CODE: The county manager had invited
Charles Doty, Fire Marshal for Catawba County, to attend
the meeting and discuss the fire prevention code operation
in Catawba County. This invitation was at the board's
request.
Mr. Doty recommended that Iredell County consider the
adoption of National Fire Prevention Association's Code 1,
as he believes this one presents less conflicts with the
state's building codes.
Mr. Doty said that he had a staff of two additional
men and one secretary. The two men enforce the fire
prevention code. He strongly favors public relations as
the best form of enforcement of the code.
Mr. Doty said he budget was $50,000, and they have
an appeals board, which is comprised of two county commissioners,
two citizens at large and one fire chief from the volunteer
fire departments.
After further discussion, the board requested that the
county attorney, county manager, and fire marshal pursue
the drafting of an ordinance for the fire prevention code,
NO BOARD ACTION.
