Georgetown City Council approves 'oversight' in fire code for pet facilities

GEORGETOWN, Texas (KXAN) — The Georgetown City Council unanimously approved amendments to the fire code Tuesday night, creating stricter fire precautions for pet care facilities.
This comes after deadly fire in September 2021 where 75 animals were killed at Ponderosa Pet Resort. There was no staffing at the facility at the time, and the building didn’t have a fire suppression system.
