The Knoxville City Council received a presentation from Knoxville Fire Chief Jim Mitchell on the differences between the International Fire Code and the Uniform Fire Code.

City Manager Harold Stewart says the council wanted the information as they consider changing from the current 1994 Uniform Fire Code to the 2009 International Fire Code. He says the 2009 code fits better with the current building codes adopted by the city and is more flexible and lenient.

Stewart says they’re now creating a resolution for the city council to consider.
