UFC Fire Lane Standards
COMMENTS:
Marvin:
UFC 902.2.1 Required access: Fire apparatus access roads shall be provided in accordance with Sections 901 and 902.2 for every facility, building, or portion of a building hereafter
constructed or moved into, or within the jurisdictions when any portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building is located more than 150-feet
from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the buildings.
Exceptions: When access roads cannot be installed due to location on property, topography, waterways, nonnegotiable grades or other similar conditions, the chief is authorized to required
additional fire protections as specified in Section 1001.9.
The City interprets this to mean that a fire lane is always required. We can make an exceptions, such as yours, when there isn't room for a fire lane due to property restrictions.
If there is room for a fire lane, then one is required.
