Was there ever a time when fire department connections were not required for fire sprinkler systems? I have some private campus buildings that don't have a fire department connection. Some have a single site connection that feed multiple buildings, but others don't appear to have one at all. Just curious if there was ever a code justification for this.

Also, some AHJ's would like the FDC located at the street where there is easy access to it by the engine instead of a separate FDC for each building within a congested business or educational campus. Leave a Reply. |
