BOONE, Iowa—A couple of hundred people turned out for the Boone Fire Departments Open House on Wednesday. The crowd did include quite a few children as expected, but also a good number of Realtors, insurance agents and even a couple of contractors. Fire Chief Justin Adams says the contractors, Realtors and insurance agents were really the targeted group because they were displaying the newest information on home sprinkler systems. Adams says current city code doesn’t include a requirement for residential sprinkler systems, but it is a growing trend.
