Do you get a homeowners insurance discount by going to compliance school if you don’t have to go due to a ticket- like going to traffic shool for fun?

There is a religious purpose exemption, which is why I’ve converted to Zoarasterism. Fire fire fire!

I think we should get a group together to go to compliance school just to check it out.

Plus, you get the added bonus of the smell of cooking hot dogs while staying warm!

I think the interesting thing that no one addressed about this post is: it was 79 degrees today, who, exactly, is going to start a fire in their fireplace?

What if I put a hotdog on my fire? Doesn’t that make it a “cooking device” and therefore exempt? I’m going to keep a hotdog next to my fireplace at all times just in case.

Sounds good to me, T Mc. Thanks.

Perhaps I need a day or two at compliance school.

Yes, but it says the ban is “in effect in Sacramento County and its cities”, and then goes on to list all the municipalities of Sacramento County, including the City of Sacramento. Much like your property tax going to the County, regardless if you live in the City. Or maybe I’m unclear on what is unclear to you.

Thanks, Moe!

The problem though with your logic is that the City and the County are otherwise frequently differentiated. Sheriff vs Police. Utilities. The dump (are you City or County?)

In the venn diagram of the county, the city is wholly enclosed by the county. There is no part of the City of Sacramento that is not included in the County of Sacramento. So no, city residents cannot “burn away.” Just as Sacramento County is within the State of California and subject to its regulations, the City of Sacramento is within the County of Sacramento and subject to its rules.

“First time violations will result in a $50 fine or a requirement to attend compliance school”

Compliance school? Now there’s a can’t miss idea.
