They can initiate their own evacuation. <br /> 19 If, in fact, there is a fire, the automatic <br /> 20 sprinklers would control that fire and most likely <br /> 21 contain the fires to room of origin, which could be <br /> 22 the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. <br /> 23 MAYOR IRA: Council Member Foust. <br /> 24 COUNCIL MEMBER FOUST: Actually, if someone <br /> 25 else has a question of Fire Chief Kohlmann, I'm <br /> UCCELLI & ASSOCIATES 171 <br /> (650) 952-0774 <br /> --" <br />
