# Two fire code ordinances held back over state-law conflicts

## What happened
The fire department's inspection division asked the council to hold General Ordinance 2 (fire service features) and General Ordinance 4 (fireworks) because possible changes in state law might require rewriting them.

## Who it affects
Anyone affected by fire-service-feature or fireworks rules in Terre Haute — these two ordinances are not yet in effect and will come back for a vote.

## The outcome
No action was taken on either ordinance; both carried over to the following week's meeting.
