  § 14-7. Establishment of fire districts.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    The town shall be divided into two fire districts and outside fire limits as follows:

    (1)

    Fire district number 1 shall comprise the areas housing highly congested business, commercial, manufacturing and industrial uses or in which such uses are developing.

    (2)

    Fire district number 2 shall comprise the areas housing residential uses, together with retail stores, business and amusement centers, or in which such uses are developing.

    (3)

    All other areas not included in this subsection shall be designated as "outside limits."

    (b)

    The chief of the fire department shall prepare a map of the town upon which shall be marked conspicuously the boundaries of the two fire districts and the outside fire limits, as described, respectively, in subsection (a) of this section, which map shall bear the designation "Fire Limits Map of the Town of Shenandoah, Virginia," which may be cited simply as the "fire limits map." The fire limits map, when approved by the town council by vote entered in the minutes of the council and placed on file in the office of the town clerk, shall then be official with respect to the fire districts and outside fire limits of the town with respect to all applicable provisions of the building code and this Code.

    (c)

    As buildings and structures are from time to time erected or demolished within the town to such an extent as to require any change of fire district or outside fire limit boundaries within the contemplation of the descriptions in subsection (a) of this section, the chief of the fire department shall prepare an amended copy of the fire limits map and submit it to the town council. Upon approval thereof by the town council in the same manner as for the original map and the filing thereof in the office of the town clerk, such amended map shall thereupon become official for the same purposes as the original map.
