FIRE INDUSTRY BULLETIN 2016-008
SCOPE
New clean agent 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 clean agent extinguishing system plans in
accordance with FFD Policy No. 401.013.
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 clean agent extinguishing 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 clean agent extinguishing system submittals in accordance with
FFD Policy No. 401.013. 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 November 1, 2016, all firms shall prepare clean agent extinguishing system
plans per FFD Policy No. 401.013.
NOTE
This notice is effective November 1, 2016.
“To protect and put service above all else.”
