We had a fire that involved clothing that was recently removed from a clothes dryer and was sprayed with "Axe" body spray. An article in 'Hot Issues' Juvenile Firesetter periodical indicated that some kids (teens) were using this body spray to create torches. The spray contains butane. I'm looking for information on the likelihood of spontaneous ignition of clothing removed from a clothes dryer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, please email Rich Ciarrone at:

Our Fire Prevention bureau is considering legislation requiring bars and restaurants to take out a permit to cook outside the building if they are using commercial sized grills, BBQs and smokers. Does anyone control this activity in their city? Do you have any suggestions on handling this type of situation? Your input on this mater would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for ordinances in communities on the following subjects, if you can help out it would be greatly appreciated.  
1) Open Burning Ordinances, 
2) Fire Safety Reinspection Fees, 
3) Notification to the FD on change of Occupancy or Tenancy,
4) Registration/Licensure of Fire Protection Companies to Work in the City, 
5) An FD exclusive Code for Commercial/Business Occupances Fire Alarm Panels.
