January 24, 2012 ... Illinois AFAA position on Chicago Fire Code

Chicago is a world class city with a world class fire department. Truly, there are no more
dedicated firefighters in the world than the CFD. However, when it comes to the City of
Chicago Fire codes, the city fails miserably. Why should a first‐rate city settle for a thirdrate
fire protection code? Will another tragedy happen before elected officials within
City government do anything to improve fire codes or even bring them up to parity with
other cities in the United States? Sadly, politicians tend to bow down to the special
interests who contribute to their campaign chests rather than giving first consideration
to fire safety. [ more]
