Fire Trap Law Allows City Condemnation of Unsafe Buildings
The legislature recently passed a fire safety act set to take effect July 1 authorizing village and city councils to condemn and raze dilapidated and fire hazard structures. The state fire warden can condemn, with owners given 30 days to contest in circuit court, burden on owner to prove otherwise. The law aims to close technical gaps of prior statutes and remove local eyesores. Also notes a fishing trip to Sischo lake and Wakefield celebrations on July 5 with mention of activities and bathing.
