| | 1. THE ARE NO INDICATION OF SEPARATION DIMENSIONS FOR |
| | THE EXISTING BUILDINGS. THE ISSUE HERE IS THE POTENTIAL |
| | FIRE EXPOSURE FROM THE UNPROTECTED TRAILER TO THE |
| | EXISTING OCCUPANCY. |

| | PER NFPA 241, 4.2 TEMPORARY OFFICES AND SHEDS; TABLE |
| | 4.2.1 SEPARATION DISTANCES, FIRE SPRINKLERS ARE |
| | REQUIRED IN EACH TRAILER. |
| | 4.2.1* SEPARATION DISTANCES BETWEEN BUILDINGS UNDER |
| | CONSTRUCTION AND CONSTRUCTION-RELATED STRUCTURES, SUCH |
| | AS TEMPORARY OFFICES, TRAILERS, SHEDS, AND OTHER |
| | FACILITIES FOR THE STORAGE OF TOOLS AND MATERIALS |
| | HAVING COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION OR CONTENTS, SHALL BE |
| | IN ACCORDANCE WITH TABLE 4.2.1. |
| | |
| | 1) 20 FEET EXPOSED LENGTH SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM |
| | ADJACENT STRUCTURES BY AT LEAST 30 FEET |
| | 2) 30 FEET EXPOSED LENGTH SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM |
| | ADJACENT STRUCTURES BY AT LEAST 35 FEET |
| | 3) 40 FEET EXPOSED LENGTH SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM |
| | ADJACENT STRUCTURES BY AT LEAST 40 FEET |
| | 4) 50 FEET EXPOSED LENGTH SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM |
| | ADJACENT STRUCTURES BY AT LEAST 45 FEET |
| | 5) 60 FEET EXPOSED LENGTH SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM |
| | ADJACENT STRUCTURES BY AT LEAST 50 FEET |
| | 6) GREATER THAN 60 FEET EXPOSED LENGTH SHALL BE |
| | SEPARATED FROM ADJACENT STRUCTURES BY AT LEAST 60 FEET |
| | **A 75 PERCENT REDUCTION IN SEPARATION DISTANCES SHALL |
| | BE PERMITTED TO BE APPLIED, PROVIDED AUTOMATIC |
| | SPRINKLER PROTECTION IS USED IN THE EXPOSING STRUCTURE. |
| | |
| | NOTES: |
| | (1) WHERE THE SEPARATION DISTANCE BETWEEN TEMPORARY |
| | STRUCTURES IS LESS THAN THE MINIMUM SEPARATION |
| | DISTANCE, THEN THE EXPOSING WALL LENGTH SHALL BE |
| | CONSIDERED TO BE THE SUM OF THE INDIVIDUAL EXPOSING |
| | WALL LENGTHS OF THE TEMPORARY STRUCTURES. |
| | (2) A 75 PERCENT REDUCTION IN SEPARATION DISTANCES |
| | SHALL BE PERMITTED TO BE APPLIED, PROVIDED AUTOMATIC |
| | SPRINKLER PROTECTION IS USED IN THE EXPOSING STRUCTURE. |
| | (3) THE SEPARATION DISTANCES APPLY TO SINGLE-LEVEL |
| | STRUCTURES ONLY. THIS TABLE DOES NOT APPLY TO |
| | MULTILEVEL, UNSPRINKLERED STRUCTURES. A LEVEL, WHERE |
| | APPLYING THIS TABLE, IS 3600 MM (144 IN.). |
| | |
| | 4.2.2* DETACHMENT BETWEEN TEMPORARY STRUCTURES, |
| | ADEQUATE TEMPORARY FIXED FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS, AND |
| | PORTABLE EQUIPMENT SHALL BE PROVIDED AS REQUIRED BY THE |
| | AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. |
