I have inspected this site and have the following comments.
1. Original plans show two (2) required fire hydrants. Only one (1) was
installed. The building is definetly lacking in adequate fire flow and
hydrants.
2. This building shall be provided with a fire sprinkler system to include
both existing and new portions. Present codes require that all buildings
over 5000 square feet be sprinklered. Sec attached Ordinance #559.
3. The building must be retrofitted with an approved alarm system as required
in the Uniform Fire Code. This should include manual pull stations, electrical
supervision, audio visual devices, and smoke detectors which would provide
early notification of fire. The smoke detectors may he eliminated if fire
sprinklered. However, they should be considered because of excessive ceiling
heights in the sanctuary.
4. The missing fire hydrant could possibly be mitigated with full compliance of
sprinkler and alarm systems.
5. Provide minimum of 2A 10 BC fire extinguishers within 75 feet walking distance
from anywhere in the building. Provide '10 BC fire extinguisher in the kitchen
area.
