Fire Inspection Update

We met with the following companies to determine a resolution for the fire report.

Security Alarm System, Inc. – We met with Security Alarm Systems on Tuesday, November 14th at 8:30am. Stated that they did not feel we needed a new system, and did not understand the fire report that was provided. Stated that the Stand Pipe was not necessary and that the code 15.2.5.4 meant one or the other not both. The requirement to add additional doors is not needed, especially with the consideration of dead space. He is speaking with his boss to contact the chief regarding the report to get clarification.

A Total Solutions, Inc. – We met with A Total Solutions on Tuesday, November 14th at 2:30pm. A Total Solutions informed us that the stand pipe was not an issue and he could not locate the drain off. He believed the only item required we would need is smoke detectors, and a buzzer on the door leading into the marine room to remove the lock. He is revising the quote and contacting the fire inspector to clarify the door issue. (3 out of 6 are not over 1000sq ft.)

Commercial Fire and Communications – We met with CFC Systems on Wednesday, November 15th at 2:30pm. We were informed that the report was not sufficient, and that we currently have an existing system through CFC and meet all requirements. The only additional option we could do to improve our alarm is add smoke alarms to several small spaces and the return vents within the building. The standpipe entrance was found but is dry. They request that we contact their point of contact to inspect it. We also need to contact Johnson Controls to get a clarification on the wattage coming out of each AC Handler to determine if the return vents need a detector. We were given the advice to discuss further with the fire inspector on the reasoning for the findings.
