[Adopted 10-22-1985 (Sec. 12-8 of the 1974 Code)]
The Uniform Fire Safety Act (P.L. 1983, c. 383)[1] was enacted for the purpose of establishing a system for the enforcement of minimum fire safety standards throughout the State of New Jersey; and the Uniform Fire Safety Act authorized municipalities to provide for local enforcement and to establish local enforcement agencies for that purpose. It is in the best interest of the Borough of Bradley Beach to have the Uniform Fire Safety Act enforced locally.
