Firefighter

I had an inquiry about standpipe regulations regarding the hoses themselves. I am an intern with the DEP in flushing, and I was assigned to find out who's responsibility it is to supply, upkeep and maintain the actual hose itself for a standard standpipe. 29 CFR 1915.507- Land-side fire protection systems section d (Fixed extinguishing systems) says that "The employer must select, install, maintain, inspect, and test all fixed systems required by OSHA as follows: 1915.507(d)(1) Standpipe and hose systems according to NFPA 14-2003 Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems (incorporated by reference, see § 1915.5)" Yet I have found NFPA regulations that state a hose must only be provided if the building posses and maintains its own fire brigade, yet that is an outdated practice. My intentions are trying to figure out whether or not we are legally required to preserve and maintain the hose itself, or if we can get rid of it. Specifically because of the extra upkeep and costs. I cannot find a specific NFPA or CFR code that specifies either which way, and would appreciate some direction!

If I had to guess unfortunately if you are considering a non-fire brigade status and rely on local resources you should not have to have the items listed, but this would be subject to your OSHA and NFPA. Have you spoken to them?

Question. How misused is the 911 system misused and abused? Is it realls as bad as I have been told. I have heard of some really dumb calls.

Asked by Dan over 6 years ago

It is abused most definitely. I run legit calls 50% of the time but 50% of them are calls where people thing a sore neck from a carvereck is worth big bucks, call 911 get seen faster, no insurance ER will take care of you no matter what. But yes it is abused.

We are designing a home that has a 16' wide pond immediately below the bedroom egress window. We wanted to know if FD can access this window in case of fire and if so, how will they do it. The window is 5' higher than the top of the adjacent ground.

The typical ladder is 24 ft so if my math is correct it could be used as a bridge to get to rhe window but you would jave to measure the distance out.
