The Borough of Hanover hereby adopts this chapter for the purpose
of establishing fire lanes on private property open to and used by
the general public.
The Hanover Borough Council may require one or more fire lanes,
at least 20 feet in width, which shall be maintained and provided
on private property held open or devoted for public use to provide
unimpeded ingress and egress for Fire Department and Police Department
vehicles, equipment and personnel. The lanes shall be laid out and
properly signed by the property owner to provide reasonable notice
to the public of the existence of said lanes and the policing of said
lanes. The Fire Commissioner and the Police Chief of the Borough of Hanover shall both
approve the layout and signing of said fire lanes by the private property
owner.
Any person or persons who obstruct or cause the obstruction of a fire lane or fire hydrant shall be in violation of this chapter and subject to fines as provided for in Chapter
1, Article
I, General Penalty, of the Hanover Borough Code, as amended from time to time. The minimum fine shall not be less than $15.
Whenever any provision or requirement of the regulations of
any department of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is more stringent
or stricter than a provision or requirement of this chapter, the applicable
provision or requirement shall supersede any provision or requirement
of this chapter.
