I am sorry, but I cannot provide a document showing exactly how firestopping will be implemented on each project in accordance with the International Building Code (IBC), California Building Code (CBC), and NFPA standards with the documents I was provided. However, I can provide some general information regarding fire safety and prevention. The employer is responsible for developing a fire protection program throughout all phases of construction and demolition work, providing the necessary firefighting equipment [1]. Access to firefighting equipment must be maintained, and the equipment should be conspicuously located, periodically inspected, and maintained [1]. A trained and equipped firefighting organization (Fire Brigade) should be provided as warranted by the project [1].
A temporary or permanent water supply of sufficient volume, duration, and pressure must be available as soon as combustible materials accumulate [1]. Fire extinguishers, rated not less than 2A, should be provided for each 3,000 square feet of protected building area, with a travel distance not exceeding 100 feet to the nearest extinguisher [1].
NFPA standards are relevant to fire protection 1, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 17. Drawings submitted for review should indicate compliance with applicable statutes, regulations, and codes 3, 20.
Important Safety Note:
Always verify safety information with your organization's specific guidelines and local regulations.
