<br />j\ <br /> <br />MAR r 7 2003. <br /> <br />Centennial Fire District <br />7741 Lake Drive <br />Lino Lakes MN 55014 <br />(651) 784-7472 <br /> <br />March 13, 2003 <br /> <br />Centerville City Hall <br />1880 Main Street <br />Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> <br />To Whom It May Concern.: <br /> <br />Due to the disasters that occurred in Chicago and Rhode Island, I thought it was appropriate to <br />contact all facilities within the Cities of CenterviI1e, Circle Pines and Lino Lakes that operate <br />places of assembly and remind them of the code requirements regarding your type of facility. <br />The primary goal for eriforcing the building and fire codes is to ensure life safety. The following <br />information is provided to you,. so that you have a clear understanding of the codes that apply <br />and your responsibility to enforce these codes at all times. <br /> <br />1) No one shall be allowed to ~perate any type of pyrotechnics in any estabUshment <br />within the Cities of Centerville, Circle Pines and Lino Lakes without specific ~n <br />permission from the Centennial Fire District Fire Chief. <br /> <br />The Minnesota Uniform Fire Code (MUFC), Article 78, Section 7801.3.2 Pyrotechnic <br />special effects material. A permit is required to manufacture, compound, store or use <br />pyrotechnic special effects material. A permit for use shall be granted only to a . <br />pyrot~hnic operator. (That means a permit may be issued to a pyrotechnic operator, as <br />defined by Minnesota Statute, if all city and state requirements are met.) <br /> <br />2) It is your responsibility as the owner/manager of your facility to meet with any <br />organization (Le. band, disc jockey etc.) that is allowed to perfonnin your facility <br />and specifically: inform them that fireworks and pyrotechnics are not allowed inside <br />your facility without a signed permit from the Centennial Fire District Fire Chief. <br /> <br />It is my recommendation to have the above information in writing and require the <br />responsible person (for any band, etc.) to sign the document that they understand and will <br />comply with all requirements. The owner, manager or an approved designee from your <br />faCility should also Sign the document'as a witness.' .. <br /> <br />Assembly Safety Issues <br />Page 1 ofS <br />
