Re: Apparatus Bays

The one ameliorating factor not leading to higher density is separation around the vehicles. Working space is required, and maintained. Unlike a commercial parking garage, you don't get door dings in a fire station. Fire jumping the aisle isn't likely. > On Aug 22, 2016, at 10:23, Brian Harri

When we specify areas with large vehicle parking we will typically refer to FM Global standards and require Hazard Category 3 (HC-3) which is a 0.3/2500 for ceiling heights up to 30’, or you can reduce the demand to 0.3/1000 using K14.0 ECs (FMDS 3-26 Table 2). The reason is, as mentioned, the

RE: Apparatus Bays

OH-2 with area smoke detection as the minimum. Nearly 44% of station fires are actually vehicle fires. Breaking down the vehicle fires, 45% of those fires originated in the engine bay of the vehicle and 20% in the passenger area of the vehicle. Of the 37% of station fires that are considered st

RE: Apparatus Bays

Given a choice, OH-2. Interior “shielded” areas within and under the apparatus are significantly larger than regular passenger cars (i.e. bigger fires when they do happen). Risk of fire is also higher, most apparatus have multiple batteries, 110-volt plug in chargers, lots of add-on, non-OEM i
