Whenever a fire protection district adopts an ordinance that establishes building standards relating to fire safety that

district’s regulations are not effective within the jurisdictional boundaries of the unincorporated area of the County
unless and until the Board of Supervisors ratifies the ordinance. (Health and Saf. Code, § 13869.7.) This Board Order
