Fire Marshall requirements

Carlos Lez
Posted

Hello colleagues,

The fire Marshall recently conducted a review of an 8 unit, 3 storied old building in Palo Alto, CA  that I manage.

He has specifically called out for several corrections. In particular I am seeking help for the following;

1) "Provide an evacuation plan (shall include Site address, floor plan//site map, escape route(s), meeting place
outside the home, emergency number 9-1-1). "

Could someone point me to some templates etc that I can use to sketch this and put up. Any details on the typical specification of these and where to put them up would be very helpful.

2) We have tank water heaters serving the units located in the basement of the building. He has asked;

"Provide protection around water heater or furnace to prevent children from making contact with these
appliances."

I am stumped on this one as to what devices etc would I have to meet this requirement/? Photo attached.

Thank you in advance for any help with this.
