Two Issues: 1. This has probably been beaten around the forum before but I am unable to search the archives. An AHJ is asserting that a 75 psi ESFR system is not adequate for pod storage. Any experience with protecting pod storage would be appreciated.
2. The following is from the AHJ letter to the building owner. I'm wondering what other AHJ's or engineers think of the requirements. "This letter is to inform you that within 10 days of the receipt of this letter the Phoenix Fire Department, Special Hazards Unit requires that a State of Arizona licensed Fire Protection Engineer be retained by you to perform a fire code/hazard analysis of the protected premises and prepare a technical opinion and report in accordance with the applicable section of PFC Section 104.6. The report shall be submitted to the Phoenix Fire Department, Special Hazards Unit for review and approval within 60 days from the date of hire." "The Fire protection engineer must be acceptable to the Phoenix Fire Department, Special Hazards Unit." ..... "Once you have chosen a fire protection engineering firm, please forward the resume and qualifications of the person who will be performing the code/hazard analysis for our review."
