SFD will require owners of any newly constructed commercial, industrial, or any multi-unit residential structure, to mark these buildings in a manner that identifies them as light-frame truss-type construction. A sign or symbol will alert firefighters of the construction material and allow them to modify their tactics for fighting fires in buildings.
(A) The owner of any commercial or industrial structure, or any multi-unit residential structure of three units or more, that uses light-frame truss-type construction shall mark the structure with a sign or symbol approved by the Shelbyville Fire Department in a manner sufficient to warn persons conducting fire control and other emergency operations of the existence of light-frame truss-type construction in the structure.
(B) The Shelbyville Fire Department shall enforce the provisions of this section. Any owner who fails to comply with the requirements of this section is subject to penalties as provided in this chapter.
