FIRE INDUSTRY BULLETIN 2016-007
SCOPE
New fire alarm plan submittal requirements for contractors, engineers, and other
stakeholders.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this industry bulletin is to notify applicable stakeholders of the upcoming
requirement for all firms to prepare fire alarm plans in accordance with FFD Policy No.
401.012.
BACKGROUND
As noted in the California Fire Code (CFC), the fire code official has the authority to
formulate policies they deem necessary based upon local conditions related to plan
submittals for all systems, including fire alarm systems.
The City of Fresno Fire Department has been in receipt of permit applications that have
been found to be deficient for basic requirements.
To attempt to minimize some of the most common errors, the Department will begin
requiring firms prepare fire alarm system submittals in accordance with FFD Policy No.
401.012. It is the Department’s intent to help stakeholders reduce the number of plans
that have to be returned for errors or omissions, and help reduce plan review times for
all plan submittals.
INFORMATION
Beginning October 1, 2016, all firms shall prepare fire alarm plans per FFD Policy No.
401.012.
NOTE
This notice is effective September 16, 2016.
“To protect and put service above all else.”
