3.3.10* Fire Area.For the purpose of this standard, an area that is physically separated from other areas by space, barriers, walls, or other means in order tocontain fire within that area .

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

Fire Areas in NFPA 15 are not necessarily meant to contain a fire, but are merely the maximum constraints of a single water spraysystem. Section 7.1.10.2, specifically (2) and (5), shows that it is not the intent of this standard to limit a fire to a single fire area.

7.1.10.2*

The number of systems expected to operate simultaneously shall be determined by evaluating the following factors:

(1)Possible flow of burning liquids between areas before or during operation of the water spray systems

(2)Possible flow of hot gases between fire areas that could actuate adjoining systems, thereby increasing demand

(3)Flammable gas detection set to automatically actuate systems

(4)Manual operation of multiple systems

(5)Other factors that would result in operation of systems outside of the primary fire areaResponseMessage:Public Input No. 28-NFPA 15-2014 [Section No. 3.3.10]

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

This suggested revision adds the definition of "qualified" to the standard, and is related to Public Input #21 that adds the term "qualifiedperson" to section 4.3. These two Public Inputs suggest revision to the standard to follow the format of other NFPA standards. Thisdefinition was extracted from NFPA 96, section 3.3.41. This definition was chosen over the definition of "qualified person" in NFPA 80because it is simplified, requires acceptance of the AHJ and does not utilize a laundry list more suited for an annex provision. We alsosuggest petitioning the NFPA Standards Council to consider using one definition for all standards using the term "qualified" or "qualifiedperson" as an Official Definition.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The word “study” is too vague and provides little direction. Hazard analysis is considered to be a term applicable to the analysis of thedesign of a water spray system. The use of code reference or other materials qualifies as a hazard analysis.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The existing text is not clear. This suggested revision would clarify the intent of the provision and utilize text already used in other NFPAdocuments. This revision eliminates unenforceable terms such as "entrusted" and "fully experienced." This Public Input is related toanother Public Input that would add the definition of "qualified".

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

How is an AHJ to measure avoidance of exposure of fire fighters? This provision in the standard is not measurable. And the term“exposure” is not clearly defined. This is appropriate as guidance in the annex, rather than a requirement in the body of the standard. Analternative to this suggestion is to revise the provision to direct flow away from specific areas, which would be measureable.

Hydraulic data is critical information for the future analysis of the adequacy of the water spray system as it is for a sprinkler system. Inthe absence of as-built drawings, a nameplate will at least provide hydraulic design information. Makes NFPA 15 consistent with that ofNFA 13.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

Hydraulic data is critical information for the future analysis of the adequacy of the water spray system as it is for a sprinkler system. Inthe absence of as-built drawings, a nameplate will at least provide hydraulic design information. Makes NFPA 15 consistent with that ofNFA 13.
