Explanation
Fire safety codes require adequate street width (typically minimum 20-24 feet), turning radii for fire trucks, and proximity to fire hydrants. These requirements must be met during the subdivision approval process. Minnesota fire codes are adopted locally based on model codes. Developments that don't meet fire access standards will not receive plat approval.
