Community room stove flagged as noncompliant; town seeks inspection to determine shelter status
Summary
A contractor told the Selectboard the community room stove is noncompliant with fire-extinguishing standards; the board asked whether the stove is grandfathered or would differ if the building were used as a school and arranged for Dan Rainville's company to inspect the appliance and report back.
The Selectboard recorded that the fire-extinguishing contractor identified the community room stove as noncompliant; board members raised questions about whether the stove might be grandfathered or whether compliance requirements would differ if the building were still used as a school. The minutes note that the town seeks clarification on the stove's code status before concluding whether upgrades are required for emergency-shelter designation.
Board member Dan Rainville agreed to have his service company inspect the stove and return with concrete answers. The minutes do not record a timetable or estimated costs for any repairs; the board thanked Rainville and expects a follow-up report to clarify whether the community room can serve as an emergency shelter under current equipment conditions.
