Monica,
After reviewing the updated plans, I submit the following;
• Hydrants must be located within 100 ft of each fire dept connection [FDCj to aid In supplementing the
sprinklers and/or standpipes. I don't think I see that requirement satisfied in these drawings, Its difficult to know for
certain as we haven't seen any drawings of the sprinkler system etc to know for sure where the FDCs will be but
I'd rather address this now than when the project gets further along.
• I see a hydrant on Sutton St near the entrance and another near where buildings 2 and 3 are located,
• Looking at the drawing for building 1, It is my best guess that the FDC wlli come Into the building near where the
fire service [FS) line Is shown. The Issue I have with that location is that using it and parking a pumper adjacent to
It, may obstruct our access to the site should a fire occur and grow requiring more resources. I'd like to see It In a
location where It creates less of a potential access obstruction.
• Again, using the FS lines as a guide, It appears as though the hydrant near 2 and 3 would be within 100 ft of 2 but
may be outside that requirement for 3 based on the location of Its FS line.They'll likely need to add a third hydrant
to meet the 100 ft requirement for 3.
