Any public building that exceeds 5,000 square feet <br />in size is required to have a readily available water supply within 500 feet <br />of such building, capable of supplying firefighting apparatus at the rate of <br />500 gallons per minute. The total gallonage required for your new church <br />building, which you indicated as 7,360 square feet and one story in height, is <br />7,360 gallons. The requirement must meet the approval of the local fire <br />distr~ct, which in this case is Stayton Fire District. The individual <br />responsible to assist you with approval is Fire Chief Ron Tegen. <br /> <br />The water supply requirement can be met through the use of underground <br />cisterns, surface ponds, or other water storage containers capable of having <br />the minimum gallonage available. The fire department must have direct access <br />and the capability of drawing the water from this reservoir at the 500 gallon <br />per minute rate. The standpipes required to draw this water can be no less <br />than 4 inches of inside diameter with at least two 2-1/2 inch outlets provided. <br /> <br />This information is provided to help in your planning for the new church. <br />Please contact Fire Chief Tegen at your convenience to discuss the <br />arrangements for the water supply reservoir and location for fire depa.rtment <br />access to the drafting standpipe. <br /> <br />Please contact me if I can be of further assistance. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> rosl&r <br />Deputy State Fire Marshal <br /> <br />GAC:mgj1370P <br /> <br />cc: Fire Chief Ron Tegen, Stayton Fire District <br /> <br /> <br />
