A vote by the City Council on Monday made Camas the first city in Southwest Washington to have an ordinance requiring that fire sprinkler systems be installed in all newly constructed one- and two-family residential homes.

The new rule applies only to new construction and does not require the retrofitting of any existing dwellings. Exempt from the law are mobile homes and manufactured homes.
