Verify that the most current applicable California Fire Code is used to determine minimum requirements. The applicant or developer shall provide fire hydrants in accordance with the following: Prior to placing any combustibles on site, provide an approved water source for firefighting purposes. Prior to building permit issuance, submit plans to the water district for a water system capable of delivering fire flow as required by the California Fire Code and Fire Department standards. Fire hydrants shall be spaced in accordance with the California Fire Code. Hydrants must produce the required fire flow per the California Fire Code. Fire flow shall be determined by the building of the single largest square footage. The minimum fire flow is estimated to be 2375 GPM at 20 PSI for a 2-hour duration, per the 2022 California Fire Code. Specific fire flow will be determined when actual square footage and construction type are provided. Prior to building permit issuance, install the approved water system and contact the Fire Department for a verification inspection. Gates must meet Fire Department standards at the time of building permit application. Fire apparatus access: the California Fire Code requires fire apparatus access to within 300 feet of all portions of all buildings. Where apparatus access roads exceed 300 feet in length, an approved turnaround is required. Project access looks to fall within a flood-plain area. Fire department access roads shall be all-weather construction, meaning that they shall be available during any inclement weather event. Please verify that all access roads shall remain open and accessible in the occurrence of flood conditions. These comments are preliminary; further review will occur upon receiving additional plans. Additional requirements may be necessary at that time. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
