<br />FXS:dft '2/5/90 (037/29) <br /> <br />multi-family dwelling presently exists on the <br />easterly side of Highway 101, which is itself a <br />potential physical barrier to response to a fire. <br />(g) That, on the basis of an analysis performed by <br />Mr. Warren Kimball, a noted Fire Service Specialist, <br />two (2) to four (4) gallons of water per minute are <br />required to be applied to extinguish fire in each 100 <br />cubic feet of a building involved in a fire. On that <br />basis, it would require at least 2,250 gallons per <br />minute be applied for extinguishing of a fire totally <br />involving a 7,500 square foot building. Accepted Fire <br />Department good practice would require additional <br />manpower and waterflow if area separation walls, used <br />to circumvent the 7500 square foot requirement, were <br />present. The City Fire Department, with multiple alarm <br />response involving on-duty personnel and present <br />equipment is capable of supplying approximately 1,000 <br />gallons of water per minute. <br />(h) Since an automatic monitored sprinkler system is <br />designed to suppress on contain fire, and to <br />automatically alert the Fire Department of the menacing <br />presence of a fire the existence of such a system will <br />increase the likelihood that a building on fire will <br />not be totally involved with fire by the time the Fire <br />Department responds, and that the fire will be <br />controlled to a level consistent with fire fighting <br /> <br />9 <br />
