  • Fire Hydrant & Fire Water Supply Requirements
    Chambers County Fire Marshal’s Office Fire Hydrant & Fire Water Requirements Fire Water Requirement: Chambers County Fire Code and International Fire Code, 2018 Edition, require approved fire water supplies for fire protection (Section 507). The inability of a proposed occupancy to provide adequate water and distribution systems for fire protection, as deemed necessary by the fire code official according to the hazards associated with the occupancy, shall constitute grounds to deny the issuance of a permit (Chambers County Fire Code, Exhibit A, Sec. 507.1.1). Fire Hydrants: 1. If you are in an area served by a water district or municipal services, fire hydrants are required if a 6” or larger main fronts any side of your property. In areas not served by a water district or municipal services, see the last section of this document, “Fire Water Supplies in Undeveloped Areas”. 2. The maximum distance from a fire hydrant to a building is 400’ per IFC 2018 507.5.1, with an allowable increase of up to 600’ for a building with an automatic sprinkler system. This distance should be determined “as a hose would lay”, and measured to the exterior portions of the building (perimeter of building). More than one hydrant may be necessary to meet this requirement. 3. Hydrants shall be located out of the collapse zone of a building (NFPA 24 2016 7.2.4). 4. Hydrants shall have unobstructed access (507.5.4). (ie., not blocked by fences, etc.) 5. A hydrant must be located within 100’ from an FDC. 6. The use of a hydrant must not require the blocking of main driveways or access into the facility.

The amount of water necessary to fight a fire for a particular building is called the required fire flow (GPM). It is based on the type of construction, building size, and fire hazard of the occupancy. Available fire flow is the amount of water available at the hydrants. Applicable fire flow is the amount of water that the fire department can deliver at a fire without depleting its ability to respond to other emergencies. The applicable fire flow also describes the level of acceptable risk of loss that the fire district is willing to take. The required fire flow cannot exceed either the available or applicable fire flow (3000GPM). The following information is from the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Fire Code (UFC) Article 9 and Appendix III-A as amended by Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Fire Prevention Ordinance 99-01 Section X. This will help you determine numbers and placement of fire hydrants, and fire flow requirements for your project and document those requirements for the fire district and building department records. Oregon Structural Specialty Code 901.2 requires that the fire fighting water supplies be designed and installed in accordance with the UFC.

  • 4.3.2 Existing Standard for Fire Fighting and Management of Metro the Characteristics of the Fire Accidents Are Indicated in the Preceding Section
    JICA PREPARATORY SURVEY ON GREATER CAIRO METRO LINE NO. 4 4.3.2 Existing Standard for Fire Fighting and Management of Metro The characteristics of the fire accidents are indicated in the preceding section. According to the type of tunnels, the standard/design guideline for fire accident management is regulated by some countries taking these characteristics into consideration. On the other hand, the countries which do not have tunnels and underground stations blindly use or apply other country’s standard/design guideline. As a result, the scale of the tunnel and station becomes more excessive than its requirement in some cases. In order to apply appropriate measure and method, the present conditions of standards/guidelines for metro construction/operation in the world are explained in this section and some points of these standards are studied in the following section. (1) NFPA 130 (USA) NFPA 130 which is the “Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems” is the standard of USA for the design of the metro. It is widely used in countries which do not have their own standard/regulation and it has strong influence in other countries. So far, this standard is applied for the metro in India, Singapore, etc. NFPA 130 is one of the strictest standards and it could not be often applied for the old metro which was constructed before NFPA 130, which was established in 1983. If this standard is applied strictly, the structure of the tunnel and station tends to be bigger and the cost of the construction also tends to be higher.

  • W05 Emergency Water Supply for Firefighting
    Emergency Water Supply for Firefighting Water is a critical resource in firefighting, both for suppressing structural fires and for defending structures from wildland fires. When firefighters arrive at a home, they need a dependable and ready supply of water. But in most rural and mountainous areas of Boulder County, unlike urban areas, there are no high-pressure water mains and fire hydrants to deliver the water. Instead, fire districts must rely on equipment and personnel to move water from local water sources to the fire. This can be a slow and time-consuming process that requires coordination of many resources. Water sources are all too often a long distance from the fire, and it can take a great deal of time and effort to transport the water to where it is needed. Additionally, transporting water requires equipment and personnel that could otherwise be utilized for fighting fire. The lack of readily available water can seriously impair the ability of firefighters to do their job in a safe and effective manner. If firefighters are unable to maintain an uninterrupted supply of water on the fire, the result can be a relatively unchecked spread of the fire, leading to the complete loss of Boulder County structures or an extension of the fire beyond the capabilities of the emergency personnel involved. To help mitigate this situation, Boulder County is requiring the Community Planning & installation of individual and community emergency water storage and delivery systems Permitting Publications in rural and mountainous areas. Individual Fire Cisterns One of the most basic and reliable means for storing large amounts of water for firefighting is an individual fire cistern.
