What this form is
The packet covers owner responsibilities and consent for the Falls City Fire Department to use and destroy a building during fire training. Property owners must complete the checklist and provide required documents 14 days before the training fire; the owner consent must be signed by all legal owners and notarized. If the property has a lienholder, that party must also sign and notarize a separate consent.
Who needs it
Property owners requesting a structural burn or other fire training use must complete the checklist and consent; lienholders must submit a separate notarized consent when applicable.
Why it needs a notary
The owner consent has a subscribed-and-sworn jurat and an acknowledgment block; all legal owners sign before the notary, and lienholders sign their separate acknowledgment.
