<br />LA PORTE FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />124 South First Street <br />La Porte, Texas, 77571 <br />(281) 471-3607 <br /> <br />January 4, 2007 <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor Alton Porter and City Council Members, <br /> <br />The La Porte Volunteer Fire Department would like to take this opportunity to <br />express our support for changing the City's existing 1994 Standard Fire Code, to the 2003 <br />International Fire Code (IFC). <br /> <br />At our October business meeting, we were presented this proposed change by Fire <br />Marshal Cliff Meekins and our Fire Chief's Office. We discussed issues in the IFC that <br />were beneficial not only to the developers, but to the code enforcement officials within the <br />City of La Porte. Additionally the IFC was highly recommended by the ISO consultant <br />we are working with and since it supports the City's International Building Code (IBC) it <br />just seems to make sense to have codes that are easily compatible. Not only will this <br />improve the safety aspects of fire protection in the city, both for the citizens and our <br />firefighters, but it should make future developments in La Porte safer and more cost <br />efficient. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Ronnie Thibodeaux <br />President <br />La Porte Volunteer Fire Department <br />--, /' <br />/' ~::/ . . -'~.
