Jay Nelson, representing the Red, White, and Blue Fire District, spoke regarding the
District’s request to require sprinklers on all new or altered housing units greater than
4500 square feet. Chief Nelson noted that the sprinkler requirement in the International
Building Code is set at zero square feet and that the District’s decision to request 4500
square feet as a minimum stem from a study on the staffing capacity of the District to
respond to house fires. The current Town minimum of 6000 square feet for sprinkler
implementation was noted to highlight that without sprinklers, the District could not
feasibly respond to a fire for homes greater than 4500 square feet in size. The Board
