CASE #6 <br /> <br />WOOl) STOVE INSURANCE INSPECTIONS <br /> By: Fire Chief David Griffin <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Generally in today's society when a homeowner is looking to change insurance carriers and <br />currently has installed a free-standing wood burning stove, the insurance requests that an official, <br />designated by the City, inspect and declare the installation to be correct and without hazard to the <br />structure. While this can be accomplished, the risk may still be present should a fire be caused by <br />that particular stove. After discussion with City Administrator Schroeder, I proposed that a form <br />(available at the meeting) be used as a check sheet looking for possible and obvious violations to <br />the Uniform Fire Code and to any current City Ordinances. This letter/form will be filled out by <br />the inspecting Fire Fighter, signed by that inspector and the Fire Chief, and mailed to the <br />homeowner and directly to the insurance carrier. A cop)' may then be maintained by the City if <br />desired. <br /> <br />Board Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Fire Chief <br /> <br />FB: 10/28/92 <br /> <br />Also distributed to: <br />Ci~' Administrator <br /> <br /> <br />
