We have a small pump room that the owner REFUSED to enlarge during the
design phase of this project. Due to the structural engineer we were forced
to move our stub in 1' closer to the wall and now the pump and panel
infringe on the doorway coming into the room. As it currently stands you
have to turn sideways in order to enter the room. Once you are in the room
there is room.
NFPA 20 states the following in the appendix:
A.5.12.1.1 Most fire departments have procedures requiring operation of a
fire pump unit during an incident. Building designers should locate the
fire
pump room to be easily accessible during an incident.
Firefighters please give me your opinions!
