X CFC ARTICLE 81 GENERAL FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Fire Sprinkler Protection
The information presented herein represents proposed storage conditions as described to and
understood by this report preparer. The evaluation of high-piled storage conditions, Class HI
combustible materials in single and double row racks, and fire protection requirements specific to a
21,283 ft 2 rack storage area is addressed in this section. The following fire protection elements are
required in order to provide adequate fire protection to the building and occupants.
Ceiling Sprinkler Water Demand
Table 7-4.2.1.5 references Figure 7-4.2.2.1.l(c) for Class III commodity up to 19 ft. This figure
determines that .33/3000 is required when using 286° F sprinkler heads for storage up to 20 ft
Application of Figure 7-4.2.2.1.3 reduces the design density to .264/3000. The existing .2/1500 system
is to be upgraded to .264/3000.
Flue Spaces
In double-row and multi-row racks without solid shelves a longitudinal flue space shall not be
required. Nominal 6 in. transverse flue spaces between loads and at rack uprights shall be maintained
in single row, double row racks. Random variations in the width of the flue spaces or in their vertical
alignment shall be permitted in accordance with NFPA 13, Section 7-4.1.4.2.
Column Protection: In accordance with NFPA 13 Section 7-9.8.1, sidewall sprinklers at the 15 ft.
elevation, pointed toward one side of the steel column are to be provided.
Smoke Detection: Not required
· Access Doors, Smoke and Heat Removal, Small Hose Connections
Per CFC Table 81-A and 81-B, building access, smoke and heat removal and small hose connections
are required for storage of Class I-IV Commodities in an area> 12000 ft2.
Building Access
One or more access doors will be provided in each 100 lineal feet or major fraction thereof, of the
exterior walls that face access roadways. Access doors may be not less than 3 feet in width and 6 feet
8 inches in height equipped with approved locking devices only. Roll up doors are not allowed
unless approved by the Carlsbad Fire Department. Access doors will be accessible without the use of
a ladder.
Smoke and Heat Removal
Smoke and heat vents will be provided in accordance with the following requirements of Table 81-B.
Class I-IV Commodity Class, Storage Height up to 20ft.
Vent area to floor area ratio: 1: 100
Maximum spacing of vent centers: 100 ft.
Maximum distance to vents from walls 60 ft.

must also have the capability of being opened by an approved manual operation.
The effective venting area will nqt be less than 16 square feet with no dimension less than 4 feet,
excluding ribs or gutters having a total width not exceeding 6 inches.
Smoke and heat vents must be located 20 feet or more from lines of adjacent properties. Vents are to
be unifonnly located within the roof area above high-piled storage areas.

XI EGRESS SYSTEMS
The GIA design team has indicated that they will comply with applicable code requirements for
egress. The basic layout of the building is in confonnance with exiting and egress requirements of
Article 10 of the 2001 CBC. All exit doors are at least 3 feet wide, 6' 8" in height, and proper exit
signs over each exit doorway are provided and visible from any point in the building.
Exit Doors
• Openable without the use of a key or special knowledge.
• Maintained accessible and free from obstructions at all times.
Minimum Number
A minimum of 1 exit is required for the following:
• B Occup; <30 ( occup load calculated at 100 sq. ft/person)
• F-1 Occup; <30 (occup load calculated at 200 sq. ft/person)
• S-1 Occup; <30 (occup load calculated at 100 sq. ft/person exclusive of rack storage)

XII GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
> Storage commodity, height and aisle widths will be maintained in accordance with the
terms of this report.
> Any change to storage array shall be approved by the Carlsbad Fire Department prior to
implementation.
> All employees will receive special training on the use of portable fire extinguishers of
the type to be provided in this building.

operation.
XIII OPINION
Based on the code research conducted in support of the development of this fire protection
report, and the recommendations provided herein, it is our opinion that operations and associated
racking systems will be in full compliance with the 2001 editions of the California Building
Code and California Fire Code as it relates to the described use and occupancy. We feel this fire
protection plan is complete and provides an adequate level of fire and life safety for the
occupants of the building.

HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL REACTION is. a, reaction
which generates pressure or:byproducts which could cause injury,
illness or harm to humans, domestic animals, livestock or wildlife.
HAZARDOUS FIRE AREA is land which is ,cov~red with
grass, grain brush or forest, whether privately or publicly owned,
which is so situated or is of such inaccessiple location that a f~e
originating upon such land would present an abnormally diff1cult
job of suppression or would result in great and unusual damage
through fire or resulting erosion. ,Such areas are design~te~ by the
chief on a map maintained in the office of the chief. · , ·

1-18
2001 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE
HAZARDOUS WATERSHED FIRE AREA is a location
within 500 feet (152.4 m) of a forest or brush-, grass-or grain-cov-
ered land, exclusive of small individual lots or parcels of land lo-
cated outside,of a brush-, forest-or grass-covered area.
· HEALTH HAZARD is a classification of a chemical for which· ·
there is statistically significant evidence based· on at least one
study conducted in accordance with established scientific prin-
ciples that acute or chronic health effects could occur in exposed
persons. Health hazards include chemicals which are carcinogens,
toxic or highly toxic materials, reproductive toxins, irritants, cor-
rosives, sensitizers, hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins,
agents which act on the hematopoietic system, and agents which
damage the lungs, skin, eyes or mucous membranes.
HEATING AND COOKING APPLIANCE is an electric, gas
or oil-fired appliance not intended for central heating.
HELIPORT is an area of land or water or a structure surface
which is used, or intended for use, for the landing and take-off of
, helicopters, and any appurtenant areas which are used, or intended
for use; for heliport buildings and other heliport facilities.
HELISTOP is the same as a heliport, except that no refueling,
miµntenance, repairs or storage of helicopters is pennitted .
HIGH EXPLOSIVE is explosive material, such as dynamite,
which can be caused to detonate by means of a No. 8 test blasting
cap when unconfined.
HIGHLY TOXIC MATERIAL is a material which produces a
lethal dose or lethal concentration which falls within any of the
following categories:
1. A chemical that has a median let)1al dose (LDso) of 50 milli-
-grams or less per kilogram of body weight when administered
orally to albino rats weighing between 200 and 300 grams each.
2. A chemical that has a median lethal dose (LDso) of 200 mil-
ligrams or less per kilogram of body weight when administered by
continuous contact for 24 hours, or less if death occurs within 24
hours, with the bare skin of albino rabbits weighing between 2 and
3 kilograms each.
3. A chemical that has a median lethal concentration (LCso) in
air of 200 parts per million by volume or less of gas or vapor, or 2
milligrams per liter or less of mist, fume or dust, when adminis-
tered by continuous inhalation for one hour, or less if death occurs
within one hour, to albino rats weighing between 200 and 300
grams each.
Mixtures of these materials with ordinary materials, such as wa-
ter, might not warrant classification as highly toxic. While this
'system is basically· simple in application, any hazard evaluation
which is required for the precise categorization of this type of ma-
terial shall be performed by experienced, technically competent
p~rsons.
HIGHLY VOLATILE LIQUID is a liquid with a boiling point
of less than 68°F (20°C).
HIGH-PILED COMBUSTIBLE STORAGE is storage of
combustible materials in closely packed piles or combustible ma-
terials on pallets, in racks or on shelves where the top of storage is
greater than 12 feet (3658 mm) in height. When required by the
chief, high-piled combustible storage also includes certain high-
hazard commodities, such as rubber tires, Group A plastics, flam-
mable liquids, idle pallets and similar commodities, where the top
of storage is greater than 6 feet ( 1829 mm) in height.
HIGHWAY is a public street or public road.
