Fire marshal Mark Engholm shared the news during a presentation to the Legislative Budget Committee on Monday … “Kansas has a 2006 version of the fire code,” Engholm said. “We are the oldest fire code in the United States of any state in existence. We were fairly close to getting to a more updated code but were derailed, unfortunately. “We were derailed by some of the the actions in the last session as far as rules and regulations and dealing with the economic impact studies. It’s very difficult for us to say how would a fire code economic impact across the state. So we’re having to back that off and revisit it.”
