It will be NFPA 13D, or per R313.3 (in California).
Thanks,
So, basically no FDC is required per code,
but fire official is probably expecting one.
Also, because this is for townhomes, they see
this as a "dense" housing type, with more people at risk.
I know they don't have any local amendments on the books,
but based on what I have gathered from speaking with him
he is expecting an FDC. I remained silent as I wanted to do
my homework before telling him there won't be one.
I'll see, but at this point I want someone who is licensed to
design fire sprinkler systems to be the one to prepare the design documents.
That way it is not coming from the "developer" but from someone in the industry.
