Groditski, Fire Marshal DATE: November 19, 1982 SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF, AND AMENDMENTS TO, THE 1982 UNIFORM FIRE CODE The Englewood Building and Fire Departments are requesting that the Englewood City Council consider the adoption of certain recently published 1982 Uniform Codes, specifically the 1982 Uniform Building Code, 1982 Uni- form Fire Code, 1982 Uniform Mechanical Code and 1982 Uniform Plumbing Code. These codes are published by the International Conference of Build- ing Officials and the Western Fire Chiefs Association. The City has already adopted, and presently enforces, the 1979 version of the Uniform Building, Fire, Mechanical and Plumbing Codes , thus the adop- tion of the newly published 1982 versions of these codes is merely an up- grading of our existing codes to the most recently published standards. The general text of the 1982 codes has remained consistent with the 1979 versions, however, some very needed additions and amendments to the 1979 codes has made the 1982 publications superior in scope and clarity. The major revisions to the Uniform Fire Code will be discussed briefly later in this memorandum. I am proposing a few amendments to the 1982 Uniform Fire and Building Codes which fall specifically into the area of fire protection systems. I would now like to outline these proposed amendments and the reasons for their intended inclusion into the latest code versions which the Building and Fire Departments are proposing for adoption. The proposed code amendments which follow are listed as they would appear in ordinance form in the Municipal Code, with copies of the referenced code pages attached so that the actual code sections can be read and understood. 1. 2-3-1: ADOPTION OF UNIFORM FIRE CODE There is hereby dopted, with th same force nd effect s though the a wer set forth in full h rein for the pur- pos of pr scribing reg\11 tions, governing condition• haz- ardous to life nd property from fire or explosion, that cert in Uniform Fir Code, 1982 Edition, including appendic s I-B, II-B, III-A, III-C, publ ah d by th International Con- f renc or Building Officials and W stern Fire Chiefs Asao- ci tion, 5360 South Workman Mill Rod, Whittier, California 90601, with the following exc ptiona, modifications and nd- nta, Thia action is r word d to dot th l 82 Un orm Fir Cod , the indict d ppendicea, and ny ndinenta to th cod • • I • • - • • Englewood City Council Page Two • • • (a) The following specific changes, modifications and amendments are hereby made in the provision of the Uni- form Fire Code, 1982 Edition, hcrcinabove adopted: (1) Section 2.302, page 6, BOARD OF APPEALS. De- lete entire section. The procedure for appeals of provisions of the fire code are contained in Title II, Section 2-3-8 of the Englewood Municipal Code. Adoption of the provisions for establishment of an appeals board within the 1982 Uniform Fire Code is therefore not necessary. (All sections in Chapter 3 of Title II which refer to the 1979 Uniform Fire Code would require rewording to read "1982 Uniform Fire Code" where- ever "1979 Uniform Fire Code" exists.) I • • In - • • • • • • Englewood City Council Page Three (2) Section 4.101, pages 12-15, PERMIT REQUIRED. Delete all items except: 4. Bonfires or rubbish fires 6. Burning in public place 7. Candles and open flames in assembly areas 11. Cryogens 15. Explosives or blasting agents 16. Fireworks 22. Hazardous materials 23. Highly toxic pesticides 29. Mall, covered 33. Open burning 43. Tents and air-supported structures REASON: Code compliance with all other items listed in Article 4 is gen- erally obtained through the department's fire inspection program. All businesses within the City are inspected once yearly with selected busi- nesses containing hazardous materials or processes being inspected twice yearly. Fire Department personnel receive regular training in the proper use and application of the fire code and issue violations and corrections notices to businesses not in compliance with fire code requirements. Instituting a new paper work system for permit issuance would severly tax the clerical staff of the Fire Prevention Bureau as well as cause the need for separate permit inspections by the Code Enforcement Officer. This de- partment would like to limit the need for permit issuance to items which are seasonal or not a normal part of a business' operation (such as open burning, erection of tents, fireworks, etc.) and to potentially dangerous situations such as the storage of hazardous materials, explosives or cryo- genic liquids .

The apparent reasoning her~s that because of the excellent record properly installed and maintained sprinkler systems have compiled regarding the extinguish- ment and containment of fires in buildings where they have been present, fire flow requirements can be disregarded for buildings which are totally protecte~ by this type of system. In the same vein, it seems reasonable to clarify and expand Section 10.301 (c) to allow the construction of buildings which are supplied with approved extinguishing systems (which might not otherwise be required) in locations where the available water supply system may not afford adequate fire flow or where it may be economically unfeasable or impractical to augment the water system to provide adequate fire flow. This inclusion would help clarify the question of whether or not adequate fire flow is required for buildings which are totally sprinkler protected by design to begin with. Even though ISO guidelines do not require fire flow calculations for totally sprinklered buildings, the code seems to imply that adequate fireflow should be available whether or not buildings are protected by an approved extinguishing system. This addition to the code would allow developers more flexibility in designing medium to large structures in established areas where the upgrading of existing water systems may prove more costly than protecting the structures themselves. It will also give local Building and Fire Departments the flexibility to offer alternative methods for building protection, other than on site water supplies which must provide required fire flow for total building wet-down. Excerpts from the ICMA Publication "Municipal Fire Administration", Copyright 1967. Connections to Public Water Systems (pages 110-112) "Private fire connections do not add in any way to the demands on th public water system. In fact, provision of private fire protection facilities results in a re- duced potenti 1 demand on the water syst m because the possibility of large fires is greatly reduced. Every effort should be made, therefore, to encourage the in- stallation of these facilities." "More than 96 per cent of all fires in sprinklered buildings are extinguished, or held in check, by th operation of such systems." • I • • - • Englewood City Counc i l Page Six • • • "Remarkable results have been obtained by using automati c sprinklers in extinguishing fires. It is estimated that about 100 billion dollars' worth of prope rty in the Un i t ed States is protected by automatic spri nklers, and that the fire loss on such property is not more than 10 per cent o f what it would have been without s prinkler protection. The annual saving in insurance premiums is often sufficient to pay for the sprinkler system in a few years. If the prop- erty owner does not want to use his own money to install an automatic sprinkler system, there are several finance companies which will pay for the equipment and spread the payments over several years to conform with the savings in insurance." Charges for Private Fire Connections "Fire protection engineers believe that there should be very little, if any, charge for supplying water service to private fire protection facilities consisting prin- cipally of sprinkler equipment, because the general pub- lic benefits from the increased amount of private fire protection promoted by the liberal policy." "The water supply demands of private fire connections are much less than the water which must be provided for public fire protection facilities. Every time a building is sprinklered, the potential demand in case of fire, from the public water system is reduced. If every building were sprinklered the fire demand on the system would be only a fraction of what it is when most buildings a re not sprinklered."

Given the size of the City Fire Department, this appears to be a c o n servative amendm e nt to the Code. The following reference quotes from texts and journals will provide an in- dication of the value and cost-effectiveness of fire sprinklers and their potential benefit to our business and residential community. "Fire is a ma j or nat ional problem. During the next hour there is a statis tical likelihood that more than 300 de- structive fires will rage somewhere in this Nation. When they are extinguished, more than $300,000 worth of property will have been ruined. At least one person will have died. Thirty-four will be injured, some o f them crippled or dis- figured for life." "Appallingly, the richest and most technologically ad- vanced nation in the world leads all the major industr i - alized countries in per capita d~ath s a nd property loss from fire." Causes of America's Fire Problem "While genuine economic problems often stand i n the way of deeper investment in fire protection, lack of under- standing of fire's threat helps to account for the low priori ty given fire protecti on." "But i ndifference exists where it is least excusable." "Designers of buildings generally give minimal attenti on to fire safety in the buildings they des i gn. They are content, as are their clients, to meet the minimal safety s tandards o f the local building code." "Indiffer ent t o fire as a n a t i onal p roblem, Americans are similarly careless about fi r e as a personal threat." "The Commission reconunends that local g o v ernments mak e tire prev ention at le st equ al to suppression i n the planning ot fire dep rtme nt priorities." "Excell nt fire protection -for x ample, in t he form of automatic extinguishing systems -li s with in technical gr sp , nd certainly lies within the resources of most co111111uniti s to prov i d e." "Moat import nt, conaid ration of t h se m tter s mak es clear th t tire aatety is responsibility shared by t h public nd priv te sect ors. Be cau se the fi re d e partme n t cannot pr v nt 11 fire loss s, formal obligati ons fa ll on own ers of certain k inds of buildings to hav e bu ilt - in r re protection. " • I • • • Englewood City Council Page Nine • • • "There is little incentive to invest in fire safety. Clients of building designers, to the extent that they think of fire safety at all, believe fire is a small risk in the future of their building. Or they judge that potential losses are adequately covered by their insurance policies." "The two most important codes from the standpoint of fire safety are the building code and the fire pre- vention code. Typically, two-thirds to three-fourths of the provisions of a building code apply to fire safety, as do all the provisions of a fire prevention code." "The Commission reconunends that, as the model code of the International Conference of Building Officials has already done, all model codes specify at least a single-station early-warning detector oriented to protect sleeping areas in every dwelling unit. Further, the model codes should specify automatic f ire-exting- uishing systems and early-warning detectors for high- rise buildings and for low-rise buildings in which many people congregate." "Records of more than 120,000 fires show that 96 per cent are extinguished or satisfactorily checked by sprinklers. usually but a few heads will open to control the fire. In more than two-thirds of all sprinklered fires fewer than five heads open. Usually , except in areas of high piled storage, all that is needed to complete extinguishment of fire out of direct reach of sprinklers is use of extinguishers or small hose." All the above quotes are excepted from the 1974 Report of the National Com- mission on Fire Prevention and Control established through the Fire Re- search and Safety Act o f 1968. The Past "During the ten years from 1877 to 1888, th total number of firea without automatic sprinklers present had been 759 , causing a loss of $5,707,000 or $7,500 per fire. Th total of th fires with automatic sprinklers pr• nt had been 2061 the loss, $224,480 or $1,080 pr fire. The significance was in the relative averag of th losses per fire. Clearly, prinkl r could b d pended upon. So far aa inst llat on costs were concern d, th• could be t with incre sing ease since insurance costs nt down s loss experienc i mproved. In the Factory Mutual Syst m, for xamp l , while more and more sprinklers re being installed, the coat of insur nee dropped frOII 30 cents per $100 in 1875 to four or five cents per $100 in just thirty years." I • • Englewood City Council Page Ten The Pres nt • • • Today, of c ours , automatic sprinkler systems are commonpl ce in industry . And they are aiso protect- ing many public and comme rcial buildings of importance. They are the standard, reconunended main line of de- fense against fire -ne eded wherever there are com- bustibles in construction or in occupancy. Every day, as sprinklers somewhere prevent fire from reach- ing destructive proportions, they demonstrate again and again that they can make the difference between a minor interruption in operations and a prolonged or permanent shutdown." Excerpted from November 1974 Fire Journal, Jack Rhodes, V.P . Factor y Mutual Research Corp. "How large a fire attack force is needed to handle a major fire in a high-rise building that is not completely sprink- lered? There is no universal answer to that question, of course. Nevertheless, the fire in Los Angeles' 32-story Occidental Center Tower office building showed that a large fire even in a well-designed, but, only partially sprinklered, building might require an attack force of manunoth proportions. "This firEI emphasized the magnitude of fire-fighting oper- ations needed to control a fire of major proportions in a high-rise building. If the building had been equipped with an automatic fire suppression system, it is doubtful that the fire would have reached the magnitude that it did." "In addition, an automatic suppression sys tem would have eliminated the need for such a massive fire -fighting attack force. In smaller communities, which could not muster a large suppression group, a fire suppression system would be needed to effectively control a high-rise fire of this mag- nitude."

Bryan, Copyright 1976. Automatic Sprinkler Systems "Automatic sprinklers are devices for automatically distributing water upon a fire in sufficient quantity ither to xtinguiah it entirely or to prevent its spre din the v nt that the initial fire is out of r ng of, or is of a type that cannot be completely extinguished by, water disch rged from sprinklers." "Auto tic sprinkler protection helped dev lop modern induatri 1, convn rcial, nd mercantile practices. L rge reaa, high buildings, hazardous occup ncies, larg values, or many people in one fire rea tend to d v lop condition• which c n not b tolerat d without utolll4tic fix d fire protection. • I • • • Englewood City Council Page Twelve • • • "Automatic sprinklers, properly installed and main- tained, provide a highly effective safeguard against the loss of life and property from fire. The NFPA has no record of a multiple death fire (a fire which kills three or more people) in a com- pletely sprinklered building where the system was properly operating, except where an explosion or flash fire where victims were killed prior to the system's operation." "In many situations, however, sprinkler protection is required by law for specific parts of the building only. Partial systems are not cost effective. Should the fire start remote to the system, it will have no effect on the growing fire. Should the fire burn into the protected area, it will generally have developed sufficient intensity to overpower the sprinklers, thereby wasting water needed by the fire service to fight the fire." "A properly installed sprinkler system operating in a timely manner will generate less water damage than the later application of hose streams by the fire service. Sprinklers are not hampered in their oper- ation by smoke or heat as is the fire service. Sprinklers can apply water efficiently and promptly to the seat of the fire." Economics of Sprinkler Protection "In addition to the protection against destruction of property values and interruption to business, the savings in insurance costs often make the expenditure for automatic sprinkler protection a sound business investment. Many buildings do not have automatic sprinkler pro- tection because the per dollar cost of the protection has appeared unjustifiably high to the building owners in relation to the value of the building. Savings in insurance premiums alone could in numerous cases be adequate to finance, over a few years time, the installation of automatic sprinkler protection. Of equal importance are the many building code "trade- offs" that are allowed when sprinklers are install d. These trade-offs permit an increase in undivided are and often less fire resistance for the building con- struction , and therefore less construction cost. No value can be placed on the life s fety spects of total sprinkler protection or the security occupants feel when such systems are installed."

Romans, Assis t ant Director -Pl a nn i n g DATE : January 6, 1983 SUBJ EC T : Proposed Amendments to the Ordinance s Adoptin g by Reference t he 1982 Uniform Bui ld i n g Code and 1982 Uniform Fire Code . Pur suan t to our discussion with Jim Mosier about th e propo s ed requirement for automat ic spr i nklers in bu i ldin g s over 50 f eet in height or over four (4) s tories, I discussed the matter of exempting open parkin g g ar ages from that prov i s ion with Fire Marshal Groditski and Ch ief Building In s p e c t or Pi t tman. Both of them would a g ree that the open parkin g ga ra ge e xemption could be made without wea kening the intent of the proposed ordinan ce . Standpipes and hoses would be required , of course, so if there were a fire i n a vehicle on th e fifth f loor, for instance, the water woul d be available to t he f ire f ighters. The staff would p ropose that the followin g a mendment s be m de to the proposed ordinance s . I. Uniform Build i ng Code, 1 98 2 Edit i on .

EXCEPTION: GROUP B OCCUPANCIES CLASSIFI ED EX- CLUSIVELY AS OPEN PARKING GARAGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 709 OF THE 1982 UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. An additional amendment which the staff would offer fo r the City Council's consideration would be to add an Appeal section. This section of the 1982 Uniform Building Code would be re- pealed under the proposed Ordinance by the deletion of Chapters 1 and 2 of the 1982 UBC. This action was apparently taken un- der the assumption that the appeal procedure is addressed in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. It is the staff's position that the appeal procedure should be set forth in each specific code or ordinance in order that the information is readily available to the person using the cod or ordinance rather than having to refer to another docum nL which may not be accessible. To this end, the staff would propose that the following provision be added to the Ordinance pertaining to the 1982 Uniform Building Code: WHENEVER THE CHIEF BUILDI G INSPECTOR SHALL DISAPPROVE AN APPLICATIO OR REFUSE TO GRANT A PERMIT, OR DISAPPROVE AN APPLICATIO FOR MODIFICATION TO THIS CODE, OR WHEN IT IS CLAIMED THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE , 1982 EDITIO , DO 'OT APPLY IN THE MANNER IN WHICH THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR DETERMINES, OR WHEN IT IS CLAIMED THAT THE TRUE INTENT AND MEANING OF THE CODE HAVE BEEN MISCO STRUED OR WRONGLY INTERPRETED BY THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR, OR WHEN IT IS NECESSARY TO DETERMINE TIIE Sl IT - ABILITY OF ALTERNATE MATE RIALS OR METHODS OF CONSTRUCTIO , A Y PERSON MAY APPEAL FROM THE DECISION OF THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR IN WRITING TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTME 1T AD APPEALS WITHI THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE DECISION APPEALED . SUCH APPLICATION FOR APPEAL SHALL BE MADE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND AP- PEALS . THE BOARD SHALL REVIEW THE DECISION OF THE CJ!TF.F BUILDING INSPECTOR AT ITS NEXT REGULAR MEETING, AD RENDER A FINAL AND BINDING DECISION THEREON. IN CONSIDERING SUCH APPEALS, THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS SHALL HAVE THE POWERS GRANTED TO THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR .

The adequacy of the existing system is suspect in grids 140 and 14F; however, the total amount of water needed for fire-fighting cannot be calculated until the exact size and construction type of proposed buildings are known. The fireflow results indicated in red on the accompanying maps are the amount of water in gallons per minute (GPH) which the main system will supply at a residual pressure of 20 pounds per square inch.

We have reviewed the proposed changes and have been briefed by the City's staff. We are concerned about the proposed change to Section 3802 which would require an automatic sprinkler system in all buildings 50 or more feet in height or more than four stories irrespective of height. This could add considerable expense to the downtown redevelopment and could inhibit development in Englewood generally. The fire protection provisions of the Uniform Building Code are very strong and were given thorough consideration when they were developed. Brady Corporation strongly recommends this proposed change not be made.
