Burnet adopts 2024 International Fire Code energy-systems chapter and NFPA 855
Summary
Ordinance No. 2026-25 updates the city's fire code by replacing the 2021 energy systems chapter with the 2024 edition and adopts NFPA 855 (2026 edition); council approved the ordinance unanimously.
The council voted to adopt Ordinance No. 2026-25, which amends Chapter 46, Article II of the City of Burnet Code of Ordinances to replace Chapter 12, "Energy Systems," of the 2021 International Fire Code with the Chapter 12 language from the 2024 International Fire Code and to adopt the 2026 edition of NFPA 855. The ordinance includes a penalty provision (not to exceed $2,000) and standard repeal and severability clauses.
Mayor Pro Tem Crista Goble Bromley moved to approve the ordinance; Council Member Joyce Laudenschlager seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The action aligns the city's fire code with more recent national model code provisions for energy systems and battery storage referenced in NFPA 855.
