Fire Prevention Code prohibitions on grills

Notices were distributed today in Southampton regarding Fire Prevention Code prohibitions on the use of certain cooking devices in units, balconies, and within 15 feet of the units.

Electric cookers and grills may be used, but not charcoal of propane grills. Storage of gasoline, LPG, and flammable liquids is also prohibited.

Violations on can earn the offender as much as a $2500 fine and/or 12 months in jail.

There's another question, would Southampton insurance cover a building fire, if the Board fails to enforce the Fire Prevention Code?
