The Ohio Fair Managers Association requested a variance from portions of the Administrative Rules regulating separation distances between operating mobile food trucks. The State Fire Marshal’s did issue a variance effective April 23, 2018 that reduces the clear space between parked and operating food trucks to 3 feet or 1 meter. This is between bumpers and no other changes were made to distances between exits or entrances of buildings or structures, combustible materials and non-mobile food units. Attached is the actual variance as well as bulletin on food trucks and a mobile food unit checklist.
