In accordance with Section 29-296 of the Connecticut General Statutes, the decision
of the Office of the State Fire Marshal in this matter is:
This modification request which seeks relief to the requirements of Part IV, Section 31.3.2.1
and Table 31.3.2.1.1 of the 2005 Connecticut State Fire Safety Code, as amended August 01,
2009 and October 02, 2012; to permit the basement, which contains combustible storage
deemed a hazardous area by the South Windsor Fire Marshal, laundry area(s) exceeding 100
square feet, that is located outside of the dwelling units and a Boiler Room with fuel-fired
equipment rated in excess of 400,000 Btu per hour, or any boiler rated over 15psi to remain
unenclosed by one hour fire resistive construction or to remain unprotected by an automatic
Tire sprinkler system in this Existing Apartment Building is ACCEPTABLE. This decision is
based on the existing building conditions and constraints that preclude the enclosing or
protection of the spaces in strict compliance with the code requirements and the proposed use
of a automatic fire alarm system as an alternative safeguard when conforming to the
requirements of NFPA-72 for "Protected Premises Fire Alarm Systems" with automatic
d�aection for hazardous areas, along with occupant notification in the building.
