public use. The designation by the Fire Chief or his designated representative
of such fire lanes shall not make the Town responsible for maintenance
of the fire lanes on private property. The owner of such property
shall continue to be responsible for the maintenance of such area.
The official record of the designation and location
of fire lanes shall be kept in the office of the Building Inspector.
