CHEYENNE – Today, Cheyenne is the only one of Wyoming’s six largest cities where a developer can build three- and four-family homes without having to put in fire suppression sprinklers, thanks to a treasured exemption in city code.

Last month, the city’s chief building safety and fire officials asked city politicians to change that. But developers came out in force, saying sprinklers are too expensive and that the firewalls they install and designs they use now are enough. The council agreed, voting 6-3 on Nov. 26 to reject the change and leave the alternative option in place. A final vote is set for Monday.
