Re: McCammant Homes - 10450 -47th Avenue South
Dear Sir:
The attached set of building plans have been reviewed by
The Fire Prevention Bureau and are acceptable with the
following concerns:
1. For short plat development (four single family homes
or less), hydrants shall be placed so that a hydrant is
within 250 feet of a building. Distance from a hydrant to
a building is measured along the path of vehicular travel.
Fire hydrants shall conform to American Water Works
Association specifications C-502-54; it shall be
compression type, equipped with two 2 1/2" N.S.T. hose
ports and one 5" Storz pumper discharge port, and
shall have a 1 1/4" Pentagon open -lift operating nut.
The minimum fire flow and flow duration requirements
for one- and two-family dwellings having a fire area
which does not exceed 3,600 square feet (344.5 m2)
shall be 1,000 gallons per minute (3785.4 L/min.).
Fire flow and flow duration for dwellings having a
fire area in excess of 3,600 square feet (344.5 m2)
shall not be less than that specified in Table
A -III -A-1. Exception: A reduction in required fire
flow of 50 percent, as approved by the chief, is
allowed when the building is provided with an approved
automatic sprinkler system. (UFC Appendix III -A, sec.
5 1)
In lieu of a fire hydrant, an approved residential
fire sprinkler system may be installed when vehicular
travel distance from the nearest hydrant exceeds 250
feet.
