LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Lawrence commissioners are considering tougher fire codes at businesses that house pets after a fire last month at a pet store and earlier fire at a boarding business.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports that commissioners earlier this month received a proposal to require pet businesses to have sprinkler systems, smoke alarms that are both hard-wired and monitored by an alarm company, carbon monoxide detectors and other such devices.

But so far, there hasn’t been discussion at a City Hall about strengthening the fire code for thousands of human dwellings that have lesser fire protection methods in place than what is being considered for the pet businesses.

Mayor Jeremy Farmer says he’ll be interested to see if there is larger discussion about fire codes.
