City ®f La Porte <br /> Established 1892 <br /> 18 January 2007 <br /> The Honorable Alton Porter <br /> Mayor of La Porte <br /> Dear Mayor Porter, <br /> The Fire Code Review Board met on 17 January 2007 to discuss adopting an <br /> updated Fire Code which would ensure the safeguarding of life and property from fire <br /> and explosion hazards arising from the storage; handling and use of hazardous <br /> substances, materials and devices, and from conditions hazardous to life or property in <br /> • the occupancy of buildings and premises in the City of La Porte. <br /> After consideration and comparison of the current City of La Porte Fire Code, the <br /> 1994 Standard Fire Prevention Code with the 2003 edition of the International Fire Code, <br /> the Fire Code Review Board hereby gives its full support to the adoption of the 2003 <br /> edition of the International Fire Code with Amendments. In addition, the Fire Code <br /> Review Board would like to see the 2003 edition of the International Fire Code with <br /> Amendments be adopted as soon as practical and without delay. <br /> The Fire Code Review Board feels that with the City of La Porte having already <br /> adopted the 2003 edition of the International Building Code, the adoption of the 2003 <br /> edition of the International Fire Code with Amendments would make for a safer and more <br /> efficient permitting and inspection program by providing a cohesive combination of the <br /> Fire and Building Codes. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> <r� <br /> Bry� oore, Chairm <br /> Fire Code Review Board <br /> 604 W. Fairmont Pkwy. • La Porte,Texas 77571 • (281)471-5020 <br />
