The Turlock City Council heard the first reading of an ordinance updating the city’s adopted fire code to the 2025 California Fire Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 9) with local modifications intended to reflect Turlock conditions.
Deputy Fire Chief David Bickel (Modesto Fire Department, serving as Turlock fire marshal) explained that the code adoption is a triennial requirement and that many local jurisdictions update their local amendments during the same cycle. Council opened for questions; none were pursued at length. Public comment was invited and none was offered. A motion and second carried the item on a 5-0 roll-call vote.
Staff indicated the ordinance will be returned for subsequent reading and adoption consistent with the municipal code process.
