A municipality with an older downtown area is considering requiring all businesses with common walls to install fire detection systems that are monitored 24/7. There was recently a fire in the downtown area that destroyed most of the businesses. The fire started in the middle of the night, so went undetected for several hours. Of course, had it been caught earlier, the damage could have been contained. Do any of you know of an ordinance imposing such a requirement? I'm looking at the IFPC (2015) but it is so dense, it is going to take me a while to discern when it requires monitoring. Thanks for any info you can share, Kim Spady
