Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morel= <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />RE: Proposed Fire Protection Upgrade Program for the Provinces <br />Apartments <br />Last April, the Council directed the committee consisting of the <br />Fire Chief, The Fire Marshal, and myself to determine the life <br />safety improvements to be made at the Provinces Apartments with <br />the $43,000 set aside by Dominium Group for this purpose. We <br />have finally met with the Dominium representatives and agreed <br />upon the following work program: <br />Strobe lights and horns will be installed in the <br />hallways of both buildings. <br />Enunciators will be placed in each apartment unit. <br />(The decibel level of the enunciators will be <br />determined pursuant to the fire code and with the <br />assistance of the installer. The Fire Marshal will <br />review to ensure the sound level is adequate). <br />Hallway doors will be equipped with magnetic devices to <br />hold the door open for improved air flow in the <br />building, but which will release the doors to a closed <br />position if an alarm is sounded. <br />Smoke detectors in the hallways will be tied in with <br />the central monitoring system. <br />Existing pull stations located in the hallways will be <br />wired in to the central alarm system. <br />Additional lock boxes will be installed at the ends of <br />buildings where they do not presently exist to improve <br />access for the Fire Department. <br />Snow removal efforts will be undertaken to ensure <br />hydrants are kept clear of snow buildup to improve <br />access for the Fire Department. <br />Page 21 <br />
