[Adopted 7-15-1986 (§ 7-31.2 of the 2010 Code)]
It is unlawful for any person to use or cause to be used an electrical or mechanical device or attachment to a telephone that automatically reports a taped or other recorded message of a fire emergency directly to fire headquarters without first obtaining a permit for such installation or connection from the head of the Fire Department.
Each such nonpermit call shall be deemed a separate violation punishable as a misdemeanor.
Any permit for such connection or installation may be revoked for cause at any time by the head of the Fire Department.
A fee of $25 for the permit (one time only) will be used to connect a special incoming telephone reserved only for this purpose.
