Fireman's Override Notes

Notes specifying the requirements set up to give firemen access and further control of the emergency systems incorporated into the building. The extra controls will aid firemen when they are called to an emergency inside the building.

Fire Protection, Supply 

This diagram shows how the building is protected against the spread of fire by fire smoke dampers at each branch take offs from the main so fire cannot spread through the duct work. There are also exhaust fans which can remove smoke from the space in a smoke mode.

Fire Protection, Steel

The steel is protected from fire by a treatment which will resist the heat of the fire which will make the steel malleable and susceptible to bending and ultimately failure in the event of a fire, not allowing people to leave the building.

Fire Protection, Electric
