*it is fun to play games, no denying, *with the spaghetti code that keeps consultants employed (and my head spinning). But if the end game is doing society a favor (which is our forum's cause celébre with residential sprinklers) , and not just our pocketbooks, then sprinkler the whole building and lets go home and bar-b-que.
Getting some water, any water on the fire (regardless of standpipes) before the ticks roll up can help. (pejorative term self-inflicted). As alluded to in an earlier portion of this post, if this is a residence with non-ambulatory people (which can always become the case as an R-occupancy ages in place), we should seriously consider sprinklering the car park area . While not a common occurrence, there is an instance where a car fire under a european (i believe english) apartment killed older residents as the smoke entered the unit's open windows via spill plume. Saving one old person's life may not be a great risk assessment (in terms of the value the automobile industry assesses to an-old-person's life), but one more instance of not having to dedicate as many mobile fire resources over the duration of the building's life, is worth heavy consideration in defense of the cost for yet another car park sprinkler system. scot deal excelsior fire -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
