8. FIRE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
8.1 Automatic Sprinklers
Complete automatic sprinkler protection designed per the applicable NFPA Standards should be
provided for relocatable structures as follows:
a.
In all new structures over 5,000 square feet (465 square meters).
b.
In all structures having an MPFL in excess of $1 million.
c.
In all structures where the MPFL will affect a vital program for a period longer than that
specified as acceptable by the Program Senior Official.
d.
In all structures where quantities of hazardous materials are used or stored in excess of
the limits delineated in the Uniform Fire Code, or alternate model fire code as determined
by the AHJ.
e.
In all structures used for sleeping quarters, including day care centers. (For such
structures, "quick-response" sprinklers should be utilized.)
Exception 1:
Limited supply suppression systems may be used where a reliable water supply is
not available, or where the application of water would increase the overall hazard in
the event of a fire.
Exception 2:
Automatic sprinkler systems are not required in fabric or membrane type structures
where alternate means of fire protection will provide an acceptable level of
protection. Such means include, but are not limited to, fire detection systems
combined with foam fire extinguishing systems and other special fire suppression
systems.
