There has been little <br />or no progress made in the last two weeks to remove the excessive combustible storage in <br />your home. You must bring your home in compliance with the fire code. This letter shall <br />serve as the City's official notice of intent to abate if the violations are not corrected. <br />Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFC) regulate excess or <br />hazardous storage, accumulation of trash or excess belongings in residential dwellings as <br />listed below. An excessive accumulation of storage in dwellings can cause extreme fire <br />loading, entrapment of victims or firefighters, difficulty in extricating medical patients <br />and extraneous hazards to neighbors, occupants and emergency personnel. <br />Copied below are the sections of the Minnesota State Fire Code sections that pertain to <br />excess or hazardous storage in buildings. Your unit is in violation of the following <br />Minnesota State Fire Code and City of Little Canada ordinance sections: <br />• MSFC 101.3 Intent. The purpose of this code is to establish the minimum <br />requirements consistent with nationally recognized good practice for providing a <br />reasonable level of life safety and property protection from the hazards of fire, <br />explosion or dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings, structures and <br />premises and to provide safety to fire fighters and emergency responders during <br />emergency operations, <br />• MSFC 102.1(3) states: The construction and design provisions of this code shall <br />apply to: Existing structures, facilities and conditions that, in the opinion of the <br />code official, constitute a distinct hazard to life and property. <br />2 <br />
