Reminders
Below you will find various bulletin information that we find helpful to those in our community.
BBQ’s
Following recent research and discussions between members of the Board and the Town of Fountain Hills Fire Department, it was brought to our attention that our “practice” concerning the use of open flame grills and BBQ’s is not in line with the Town’s Fire Code. Consequently, it is our responsibility to inform the owners at Mirage Heights Condominiums to comply to the Fire Code concerning open flame grills and BBQ’s.
FOR IMMEDIATE COMPLIANCE
Fountain Hills Fire Code requires that in order to operate an open flame BBQ two conditions MUST be met:
1. Be at a distance of a minimum of 10ft away from any combustible construction.
2. Where combustible surfaces are present they be protected by an automatic sprinkler system.
CONSEQUENTLY
NO open flame BBQ’s are permitted on balconies or patios. ONLY electric BBQ’s are permitted.
However, open flame BBQ’s may be used on ground level and MUST BE at a distance of 10ft away from any combustible construction.
BEWARE of Snakes!
- Be extra careful when outside – watch for snakes – we don’t want anyone to experience the pain of a bite and the subsequent hospitalization.
- At night be careful in your home, outside in your garage, and in your backyard for scorpions. Appropriate pest control measures are recommended – refer to your Pest Control vendor for their recommended scorpion management processes.
