Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-43 establishes fire safety requirements for manufactured homes located in manufactured home parks. The rule requires that fire protection meet state fire marshal standards and that each manufactured home be equipped with a fire marshal–approved extinguisher maintained in ready, usable condition. A manufactured home may not remain parked in a park for more than three days unless a usable fire extinguisher is present inside it.

Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-43, operators of manufactured home parks generally ensure that fire protection across the park meets state fire marshal requirements. While the duty to supply and maintain an approved fire extinguisher falls on the individual manufactured home owner, park managers commonly incorporate extinguisher compliance into move-in inspections and ongoing site reviews. Keeping records of those inspections can help demonstrate that the park is being operated in accordance with applicable fire safety standards.

Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-43 places the responsibility for providing a fire marshal–approved, usable fire extinguisher on the manufactured home owner, but tenants who own their home should be aware that parking in a park for more than three days without one is a code violation. Tenants who rent both the home and the lot may want to review their lease to understand which party bears responsibility for fire equipment. Local code enforcement or a tenant-rights organization can provide information about how complaints under this provision are typically handled in Hopkins.
