NFPA 31 J.4.1 states: Materials should be stored in unit piles as low in height and small <br />in area as is consistent with good practice for the materials stored. The maximum height <br />should be determined by the stability of pile, effective reach of hose streams, <br />combustibility of the commodity, and ease of pile breakdown under fire or mop -up <br />conditions. Long narrow piles are preferred over large square piles to facilitate manual <br />fire -fighting. <br />Because of the fire hazard potential inherent in lumber storage operations and the <br />additional storage requested, I would not recommend approval. In the event of a large- <br />scale fire there is the possibility of inadequate water flows making it difficult to control <br />the fire, contain the fire, and protect the surrounding buildings. <br />Also the Fire Department's apparatus access for this property is of great concern and at <br />times the fire access roads are extremely difficult to maneuver and may not allow for <br />proper fire apparatus placement to provide Fire Department coverage to all areas of this <br />property. <br />Respectfully ubmitted, <br />ir-Lee <br />Fire Marshal <br />
