Required Fire Flow: No building shall be constructed,
altered, en ar- gecT-or repaired in a manner that by reason
of size, type of construction, number of stories, loca-
tion on property, occupancy or any combination thereof
creates a need for a fire flow in excess of 3,000 gallons
per minute at 20 poundsper square inch residual pressure.
Existing buildings that require a fire flow in excess
of 3,000 gallons per minute are not required to comply
with the fire flow requirements of this section; however,
alterations, additions or repairs shall not further in-
crease the required fire flow for the buildings. Further-
more, if alterations, additions or repairs made in any
13-month period exceed fifty (50) percent of the area of
building, the entire building shall be made to conform
with the fire flow requirements.
Fire flow requirements in excess of 3,000 gallons per
minute may be allowed if, in the opinion of the Chief,
all reasonable methods of reducing the required fire
flow have been included within the development and no
unusual hazard to life and property exists.
The required fire flow shall be determined by the size
and construction of the building or buildings considered
and shall be computed as follows:
F = 18C (A) 0.5
Where
F = the required fire flow in gpm
C = coefficient related to the type of construction
A = the total floor area (including all the storage °
but excluding basements in the building or
buildings being considered. For Type II-FR
and Type I buildings only the three largest
successive floor areas shall be considered.
In this formula the coefficient for construction shall be as
follows:
C = 1 .5 for Type V construction
C = 1 .0 for Type iII construction
C = 0.9 for Type IV construction
C = 0.8 for Type II-N and Type II one-hour construction
C = 0.6 for Type II-FR and Type I construction
The value obtained by this calculation may be reduced:
