Fire officials contest social event limits at Hyattstown Fire Station
Fire Marshal John M. Best testified the station violates life safety code with two exits. A 49 person limit on social gatherings prompted Avon B. Chisholm to call it excessive enforcement, citing $60,000 cost for a new fire escape and revenue loss from groups over 200. The board weighs whether the code enforcement is too harsh while the department argues time to remedy is allowed and no immediate threat exists.
