Community calls for strict enforcement of fire codes

News Leader - Fernandina Beach, Florida (Amelia Island)
This editorial is written in response to the allegations of Fire Marshal Bunch that the City Manager retalliated against him for strictly enforcing the fire code when inspecting city projects. Seems that the citizens are all for city employees having a "positive helpful attitude". But they are even more concerned that the fire codes are being strictly enforced....
Given the choice, we'd prefer strict enforcement of fire codes, especially on city property - where the offender is another city department - and especially when it involves children in day-care or after-school programs.
