08/13/2026 Fire New Construction Standard REQUIRES RESUBMIT *Per 2024 IFC Appendix B table B105.1, required fire flow needs to be 2250gpm for 2 hours. This requires either actual fire flow data procured from Tucson Water for these fire hydrants or we can assume each fire hydrant supplies 1000gpm. Please show hydrant locations on site plan (or mini map), showing distances from farthest reach of driveway (garage door) to each required hydrant. Since this is a group R-3 occupancy, the max distance to a fire hydrant is 600 feet per 2024 IFC 507.5.1.

*2024 IFC Appendix B table B105.1 states the required fire flow may be cut in half by adding an approved automatic fire sprinkler system throughout the building.

*2024 IFC Appendix D defines fire access road requirements. Some of these requirements are to provide a min 20 feet wide roadway capable of supporting 75,000lbs.
