The rule requires that park grounds be kept clear of litter and flammable debris, that approved portable fire extinguishers be maintained in service buildings and other designated spots, and that open fires be confined to stoves, incinerators, or similar intended equipment. It also mandates that the park be served by a water main of at least six inches in diameter with fire hydrants positioned within 300 feet of each mobile home or building.

Operators of mobile home parks in Bellevue are generally expected to comply with all directives issued by the city fire prevention authority under § 17-34. Compliant operators routinely inspect grounds for litter and flammable materials, ensure that fire extinguishers meeting fire prevention authority approval are installed and serviced at required locations, and verify that the park's water infrastructure meets the six-inch main and 300-foot hydrant-placement requirements.
