comply with the recommended fire and safety standards set out by the Western
Fire Chiefs Association, International Conference of Building officials and the
State of Oregon, and in order to ensure that the real property that is being

facilities and standards to meet these codes and thereby alleviate unnecessary
fire hazards within the District.
