Hanson <br />www. ci.little- Canada. mn. us <br />Date: June 19, 2008 <br />To: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />From Jim Lee, Deputy Fire Marshal <br />Re: Minnesota State Fire Code Adoption <br />The state fire code was originally adopted October 3, 1975. It was last amended effective <br />March 31, 2003. <br />July 10, 2007 the latest addition of the Minnesota State Fire Code was adopted and is <br />intended to be consistent with Minnesota Statutes, section 299F.011. <br />The 2007 Minnesota State Fire Cocte establishes the most up -to -date standards consistent <br />with nationally recognized good practice establishing minimum safeguards of life and <br />property together with regulating the use and maintenance of buildings, structures and <br />premises. <br />Our ordinance needs to be updated because of substantial changes made to the model <br />national codes that are incorporated into Minnesota State Fire Code and related <br />amendments. The intent is to produce up -to -date codes that will achieve a reasonable <br />degree of safety to life and property. <br />Please contact the if there are questions. <br />Jim Lee <br />7 <br />
