LAWRENCE
A new city fire code is affecting students who live in apartments.
The new code prohibits the use of any barbecue or open fire cooking devices on apartment decks or balconies made of combustible material.
The Lawrence City Commission adopted
the 2006 edition of the International Fire Code at a Sept. 25 meeting.
Richard Barr, division chief for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, said Lawrence property owners and managers had been advocating for this type of law for years.
Barr said the law also affected multi-family dwellings, such as Greek chapter houses and lodging houses. The city defines a lodging house as a home in which more than three people who are not related live.
