Proposed fire code requires wood stove permits
By CHRIS BARBER Staff Reporter
Lawrence will take a big step forward in fire safety and prevention if it adopts its new uniform fire code, area fire prevention experts said yesterday.
The new code, a revision of the 1979 code, includes a section requiring permits for wood-burning stoves and other similar heating devices. The code is eligible for final adoption at
the City Commission's meeting Tuesday.
The code says, "All solid fuel burning appliances shall not be installed or repaired without a permit from the fire department."
IF APPROVED BY the City Commission, the requirement would be a step toward reducing the number of fires related to fuel burning appliances, said Lawrence Fire Chief Jim McSawn.
homeowners to seek other, cheaper means of heating their homes, he said.
The rising costs of electrical and gas heating have forced many
Wood-burning stoves and other similar units became popular during the energy crisis, McSain said
"There were a lot of them installed, and we weren't prepared for that." McSwain said.
But with the increase in the number of stores came an increase in the number of fires caused by improper installation or maintenance, he said.
Steve Lewis, who runs Soots Me Chimney Sweeping, 1045 New Jersey St., said he thought the new code would reduce the number of fires related to stoves.
"IT SHOULD HAVE A positive effect on new installations," said Lewis, a member of the National Fire-Protection Association.
The City Commission has asked Lewis to work with the fire department to educate people about fire safety.
Lewis was concerned that the code
would affect only new stoves or those being repaired. Units already installed would not require a permit, he said. But he supported the code.
"Anything that can be done to inform the public about fire safety will help," he said.
Meswain agreed that the new code would not affect units already installed, but he said, "You've got to start somewhere. Just the public awareness has been some help."
MeSwain said the number of calls from people asking questions about
their stoves had increased recently.
"ACTUALLY, THIS IS past due," McSwain said, referring to the new code. "But it is very important to do this now. This is a nationwide problem."
Terry Coover, fire chief for Eudora Township, said he supported the city's code and would like to see the Douglas County Commission extend the code to cover the county because more people in rural areas had wood stoves.
Panel to pick debate reporters
Newspaper and television reporters around the country will know by next Friday whether they will be able to attend the debate Oct 21 in Kansas City, Mo.
A committee comprising national and Kansas City representatives from the League of Women Voters will decide next week which media will be allowed into the Music Hall in the downtown Municipal Auditorium, Patty Armstrong, a media coordinator for the Presidential Debate Project of the League of Women Voters, said yesterday.
Other members of the media may be allowed into a press room in the
THE DEBATE, WHICH will be broadcast at 8 p.m. on the three major networks, is the second of two between President Ronald Reagan and Democratic challenger Walter Mondale. The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan organization, will sponsor the debate.
Armstrong said that 400 reporters and cameramen would be allowed into the Music Hall and about 1,000 more into the Exhibition Hall at the Auditorium, where they will watch the debate on closed circuit television.
However, committee members from the Kansas City league will bargain with national members to win access for more local media, she said.
ONLY CRS CAN BRING its television cameras inside the hall, Armstrong said. She said the three major networks joined a pool in which each network would film one of three debates — the two presidential debates and the debate tonight between Vice President George Bush and vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro.
