is prohibited to use, process or store any materials in the occupancy that would classify it as a Group
H occupancy per Sec. 307 of the 2001 CBC.
3) The Fire Department is required to set a minimum fire flow for the remodel or construction of all
commercial buildings using the procedure established in the 2001 CFC. A fire flow of 1500 gpm for
a 2 -hour duration at 20 psi residual operating pressure must be available before any combustible
material is placed on the job site.
4) The required fire flow shall be available from a Super hydrant(s) (6" x4" x21/2" x 21/2') located not
less than 25' or more than 165' from any portion of the building(s) as measured along approved

coded system to be purchased.
