TUKWILA, WASHINGTON 98067
Dear John:
Please forward the following information along with your report to Mr. Light
of Chester Lindsay Architects for requirements of the Pacific Pumpers facility:
1. At least one hose station per City Ordinance #730 is required in each
half of the building.
2. Electrical service in the North 1 of the building is almost non- existant.
Have the tenant keep in mind that extension cords over 6 feet in length
are not allowed and extension cords are not allowed in lieu of permanent
wiring. All wiring per NFPA #70 (National Electrical Code, current edition.)
3. Stairway enclosure to the mezzanine must be one -hour construction, if
placed as shown on the drawings.
4. The sprinkler system in the mezzanine, under the mezzanine, and in the
presently unsprinklered offices in the AMCI facility must be sprinklered
to maintain the existing sprinkler density design.
5. Although not required by code, I suggest it would be in the best interest
of the tenants if the separation wall were gypsum wallboard rather than
plywood. The corridor on the East side of the building must be one -
hour construction, with one -hour doors, self closing.
6. In view of the presence of a flammable storage room, I would speculate
that the application of flammable finishes within the facility might
be anticipated. If this is true, an approved spray booth per Sec. 15.23
of the Fire Prevention Code, 1970 edition, will be required.
7. Fire extinguishers per NFPA #10, installed and marked per OSHA Sec. 1910.157 .
will be required as a minimum. Additional extinguishers may be required
by this department if, in our judgement, hazards within the facility
demand greater protection.

The question of opening or fixed windows
has arisen from time to time for hospital •
I•.atient•rooms. Because UBC allows fixed
windows when a building is mechanically
ventilated the Fire Marshal believes be-
cause UBC takes precedence over NFPA this
opening requirement would not be a Fire
Marshal requirement, however, it will be
prudent to include opening provisions be-
cause of the Federal requirements under NFPA
parts of life safety code 101. Refer to
Section 16 -41 for automatic sprinkler re-
quirements and for windowless buildings
also to 16 -4111 and the appendix notes.
