The Ironwood City Council is preparing an ordinance to penalize businesses for repeated false fire alarms, with a public hearing scheduled for October 5. The ordinance, drafted by City Attorney Gerry Pirkola, sets a grace period of three false alarms within a 12-month period. The fourth false alarm incurs a $100 fee, the fifth incurs $200, and subsequent alarms cost $400.
