Firehouse Not Up To Code

Any truth to this?

"A bonehead recognition to the Charleston, West Virginia fire department for building a new $1 million fire station that cannot open because it violates the fire code.
While it only needs a different door, it’s interesting how this happened. Neither the fire department nor the building commission ever reviewed blueprints for the new fire station.

While it is certainly possible that this event occurred, it is also possible that the non-compliant door was installed during construction and then found during a final inspection.
