Drexel Heights board adopts fire-code amendments over one dissenting vote
Summary
The board approved amendments to the district fire code to align with neighboring districts; the resolution passed 3-1 after Board Member Laura Dailey voted against it. Officials said the changes align inspection rules with Sahuarita and Santa Rita.
The Drexel Heights Fire District Governing Board adopted amendments to the district's fire code, approving Resolution 2026-10 on a 3-1 vote. Board Chair Gary Bynum moved the measure and Board Member James Bertrand seconded it; Board Member Laura Dailey cast the lone dissenting vote.
Community Risk Reduction Director Dennis Stiegleiter told the board the amendments were intended to align Drexel Heights' code with the Town of Sahuarita and Santa Rita Fire District "so it is the same for the inspectors." Dailey asked whether Rincon Valley would adopt the same language; Stiegleiter said Rincon Valley would revisit the code to match Drexel Heights. The hearing produced no public comments prior to the vote.
