The essence of this approach is the preservation of neighbourhood and city through development that provides a city that works for people and industry.

6. NFPA FIRE ANALYSIS AND RESEARCH RESOURCE PRESENTATION

Amanda Kimball, Research Project Manager, The Fire Protection Research Foundation, provided a video-call presentation detailing the research and information sources available to Technical Committees. This includes the Charles S. Morgan Technical Library, which maintains one of the largest collections of information relevant to fire research. Other resources available include information services, fire analysis and research, reports and statistics, and the Fire Protection Research Foundation, which collaborates with research organizations throughout the world.

Page 9 of 222

4 | P a g e

The objective of the project is to develop an extinguisher selection matrix. A reproducible test method has been developed. The samples used within the tests are being examined over an eighteen month period and further assessments will be completed in May, July, November and January. The assessment report will then be written up between February and October 2016. It is intended that the final report will be presented through a webinar. The committee thanked Emily and Matt for the work they have completed to date and look forward to receiving the final report.

10. NFPA 914 TASK GROUP REPORT Sheila Palmer advised that the 914 group are currently looking at areas that could be considered for inclusion within the next revision. This includes fire prevention during renovation and an all-hazards approach to prevention. This may not be code material, but could provide some useful advisory information as annex material. One of the questions the Task Group have been considering is how to present the code to ‘end users’. The group have discussed the creation of a training program on video and including case study type information and pictures that would be targeted to non-engineering groups such as administrators and local lawmakers. The committee agreed that this idea merited further follow up. Grant Crosby has drafted an outline/framework of what this would include.

11. REVIEW SCHEDULE FOR FUTURE COMMITTEE MEETINGS 1 Fall 2015 NFPA 909 Pre-Second Draft Meeting. September 22-23, 2015 Colonial

12. SITE VISIT: THE ROYCROFT CAMPUS, EAST AURORA, NY Russ Fleming arranged a visit to The Roycroft Campus in East Aurora, New York. This is considered one of the best preserved and most complete complex of buildings remaining in the United States of the "guilds" that evolved as centers of craftsmanship and philosophy during the late 19th century. The Campus, designated a National Historic Landmark district (NHL) in 1986, contains nine of the original 14 structures. Curt Maranto, Executive Director of the campus, gave the group a tour and explained the difficulties that have to be overcome during the preservation work, with particular focus on the fire prevention measures that are in place throughout the campus.

13. OTHER BUSINESS

Mike Coull gave a presentation on a fire at the Glasgow School of Art that caused extensive damage to this Charles Rennie MacKintosh building. The fire began when a projector ignited the propellant within a pressurised steel container. Due to the presence of voids throughout the building, the fire quickly spread from the basement to the top floor, however the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service contained the fire to the west wing of the building. Any member of the committee wishing a copy of the fire investigation report should contact Mike Coull.

14. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 1700 on April 28, 2015. Minutes prepared by Mike Coull Secretary

Negative with Comment

Moeller, Donald C.

Manual standpipes should be allowed in any low-rise building, even without approval of the AHJ. (See section5.4.1.1 of NFPA 14). I think the original section was to allow dry standpipes where they might otherwise be wet. Idon't think the intent of the committee is to require automatic standpipe water supply unless specifically approvedotherwise.


As a result of the ballot circulation, I change my vote to "Negative" on FR-78 based on the comments provided byDon Moeller in his negative vote.

Negative with Comment


While I concur that the commissioning required by NFPA 4, the retroactivity requirement for existing buildings,with the responsibility for obtaining documentation and generating testing procedures resting on the owner, couldbe quite onerous for especially a historic cultural resource property, with limited resources.

Portway, Chris

NFPA 4 appears to require retroactive commissioning of existing systems, and relies on owners to produceinformation on old, existing systems (that sometimes simply does not exist). It also appears to require owners tohave specific technical expertise, including the ability to develop testing requirements. Representing an owner withnumerous large and older cultural resource facilities, but also with very limited resources, these requirements maybe very burdensome. While NFPA 4 is a necessary improvement for integrated systems, I believe it needs work inthese specific areas.

NFPA 730, Guide for Premises Security , provides guidance on conducting security vulnerabilityassessments and developing appropriate countermeasures.

As outlined in NFPA 730, a security vulnerability assessment (SVA) usually involves a seven-step processas follows:

Step 1: Formation of Team. The process should begin with the formation of a team of personnel from allorganizational areas. Commonly, the individual responsible for an organization's security serves as teamleader.

Step 2: Organization/Facility Characterization. Step 2 involves a characterization of an organization andthe facilities to be protected. It includes identification of assets (i.e., people, property, information, andproducts); physical features and operations; laws, regulations, and corporate policies; social and politicalenvironment and internal activity (i.e., community resources, crime statistics, internal activities, and lossexperience); and review of “current layers of protection,” including both site security features and safetymeasures.

Step 3: Threat Assessment. The next step is conducting a threat assessment. The process includes aclassification of critical assets, identification of potential targets, consequence analysis (effect of loss,including any potential off-site consequence), and the definition of potential threats (by identifying potentialadversaries and what is known about them).

Step 4: Threat Vulnerability Analysis. The next step is conducting a threat vulnerability analysis thatidentifies actual and potential threat scenarios and estimates a relative security risk level. The relativesecurity risk level is a function of determining the severity of the consequences of an adversarial event,the potential for such an attack, and the likelihood of adversary success in carrying out the anticipatedevent or activity.

Step 5: Definition of Specific Security Countermeasures. In this step, specific security countermeasuresare defined. All information from the preceding steps, including characterization, threat assessment, andvulnerability analysis, is considered. An effective countermeasure is one that drives improvements inmitigating the defined threats and results in a reduction in the security risk level.

With respect to the development of security countermeasures, and in consideration of the defined threats,the SVA team's efforts to strengthen the security layers of protection begins with a focus on the concentriccircles of protection design methodology, shown in Figure A.8.1.1.

Figure A.8.1.1 Concentric Circles of Protection. (Source: SafePlace Corporation.) [730:FigureA.5.2.3(2 5 )]

This methodology provides for protection of defined critical assets by considering the following fourprimary protection elements of an effective protection plan design:

(1) Deter — discouraging an adversary from attempting an assault by reducing the likelihood of asuccessful attack.

(2) Detect — determining that an undesirable event has occurred or is occurring. Detection includessensing the event, communicating the alarm to an attended location, and assessing the alarm.


149 of 211 9/8/2015 2:12 PM

Page 160 of 222

(3) Delay — impeding adversary penetration into a protected area.

(4) Respond — counteracting adversary activity and interrupting the undesirable event.

Arson, theft, sabotage, or other malevolent acts can be prevented in two ways, by either deterring theadversary or defeating the adversary. In the development of security countermeasures, it is important tounderstand that a properly designed and implemented security program integrates people, procedures,and technologies for the protection of assets. The use of technologies alone is not the solution.

The “new world” we live in poses a new challenge: the increased presence and threat of adversarialattack. Our journey now involves an important dual approach, the combination of today's securitymethodologies with traditional safety and risk management practices to strengthen security layers ofprotection.

An effective security program, resulting from the completion and implementation of a comprehensive SVA,provides measurable benefits in the workplace for personnel (staff, guests, and visitors), in the protectionof property, and in operations, resulting in enhanced business performance.

Step 6: Assessment of Risk Reduction. Taking into account the countermeasures defined in Step 5, thisstep reassesses the relative security risk levels developed in Step 4 and considers additional security riskreduction measures (security countermeasures) where appropriate.

Step 7: Documentation of Findings and Tracking of Implementation. Findings and recommendations aredocumented in a report and the implementation of accepted recommendations is tracked.

See Table A.9.12.13 for known advantages and potential concerns associated with various types ofautomatic sprinkler systems, piping materials, and types of sprinklers.

Table A.9.12.13 Considerations for Automatic Sprinkler System Types and Materials

Known Advantages Potential Concerns

Types ofSystems

Wet pipe Traditional high reliability systemswith water under pressure inpiping at all times usingheat-actuated sprinklers; lowestmaintenance requirements of allsystem types

Mechanical damage to sprinklers or piping inlow-ceiling areas, overheating, and freezing can allresult in discharge of water

Antifreeze Advantages of wet pipe systemswith reduced concern for freezing

Traditional antifreeze Antifreeze solutions are nowlimited restricted to those that are listed for use in firesprinkler systems due to concerns for combustibilityof sprinkler spray, especially for small orificesprinklers at high pressures

Dry pipe Air or nitrogen in piping undermoderate pressure 2–3 bar[(30–40 psi) nominal] protectsagainst freezing and preventswater discharge in the event ofsmall leaks

Air Reduced reliability due to increased maintenancerequirements; 30% increase in water demand; air inpiping with residual water can lead to prematurecorrosion of steel piping systems; mechanical damageto sprinklers or piping will result in water flow; watersupply must be in a heated area

Preaction —single-interlock

Requires separate detectionsystem to activate before water isintroduced to piping; protectsagainst freezing and preventsdischarge of water in the event ofmechanical or corrosion damageto sprinklers or piping

Reduced reliability due to dependence on separatedetection system; air in piping with residual water canlead to premature corrosion of steel piping systems;significantly higher level of regular maintenance

Preaction —double-interlock

Requires both detection systemand at least one sprinkler toactivate before water is introducedto piping; best protection foroccupancies such as freezerswhere water in piping can alonebe a concern

Slowest system response to fires; reduced reliabilitydue to dependence on separate detection system; airin piping with residual water can lead to prematurecorrosion of steel piping systems; significantly higherlevel or regular maintenance

Preaction —non-interlock

Water entering piping withactivation of either detectionsystem or sprinkler increasesreliability over other types ofpreaction systems while excludingwater in normal ready condition;protects against freezing

Does not provide added protection against release ofwater in the event of mechanical or corrosion damageto sprinklers for piping; air in piping with residual watercan lead to premature corrosion of steel pipingsystems

Preaction —pre-primed

Requires separate detectionsystem to activate to allow waterto enter piping in excess ofpriming water, limiting potentialdischarge in the event ofmechanical or corrosion damageto sprinklers or piping

Reduced reliability due to dependence on separatedetection system

Deluge Ability to quickly discharge largequantities of water appropriate forspecial hazards only

Activation results in water discharge throughoutprotected area; air in piping with residual water canlead to premature corrosion of steel piping systems

More expensive than steel systems; fire hazard ofallowable joining methods

CPVC(chlorinatedpolyvinylchloride)

Not susceptible to corrosion; cleaninstallation and field fabricationideal for retrofit

Compatibility concerns, especially with regard tointernal, and external exposures to materialscontaining plasticizers or hydrocarbons; must be instrict accordance with 9.12.13.4

Stainless steel Highest High degree of corrosionresistance

Increased expense; corrosion concern with sprinklerseats unless stainless steel sprinklers also utilized

Types ofSprinklers

Standardresponse

Traditional strength and reliabilityagainst accidental discharge;least maintenance and lowesttesting requirements;

Lack of improved performance through technologicaladvancements in sprinkler thermal sensitivity

Quickresponse

Improved sensitivity allowsreaction to smaller fire andincreases effectiveness ofavailable water supplies

Reduced mass of sprinkler thermal element makes itsomewhat more susceptible to accidental discharge ifproper care is not taken in handling and installation

Residential Combines increased thermalsensitivity of quick-responsesprinklers with high wall wettingappropriate for typical smallcompartments of residentialoccupancies
