| 05/13/2020 | MARTIN BROWN | FIRE | REVIEW | Reqs Change | The fire flow requirement (the amount of water available from the hydrant) for a house this size is 1750 GPM @ 20 psi. Please contact Fred Coy (fred.coy@tucsonaz.gov) and ask him to model the fire flow for this address. If the fire flow can be obtained, include the correspondence from Fred as part of the construction documents, and the plans will be approved. If the hydrant cannot support this number, a residential sprinkler system will be required, and a note indicating sprinklers will be installed must be added to the cover sheet of your plans. |
