Friday, WSB reported Clayton County shut down an unlicensed personal care home because it does not have sprinklers. The owners must install them, and get a license, if they want to continue to have guests.
Landy Merkison of the Clayton County Fire Department said "There are certain code upgrades you need to do when you house residents of this nature so like fire sprinklers need to be in the home, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers."
Now, the operation at 444 Sycamore has been said to be "similar to a personal care home." So, has the Decatur Fire Department inspected it for compliance? Or, can it skate because it is only "similar?"
Thanks to a neighbor for pointing out the WSB article.
