I don't know that it's in there anymore, didn't find it with a quick look, but there used to be a diagrammatic drawing of a "campus" fire loop with remote FDC as well somewhere in 13 or 24 I believe.

Or, better yet, is there a code reference that specifically allows this arrangement? We've done it quite a few times, but now I've got a plan reviewer on a specific project stating that each of the buildings requires it's own FDC. He said we can file an appeal to use a single FDC, but I'm not sure what code section we would be appealing. -Kyle M This message is for the named person's use only.
