What is a "fire hazard"

In the 2009 IFC it is used 39 times, but no definition on the IFC

Can you provide a definition

 

[mark handler]

A fire hazard is situation where there is greater than normal risk of harm to property or people due to fire. It can be defined as a hazardous area where fire will start or where smokes or gasses can be generated, or where an explosion can occur endangering the lives of people.

So is two trash bags full of trash against your neighbors house a fire hazard?

 

[mark handler]

Yes any combustibles"piled up" anywhere can be a hazard

Yes any combustibles"piled up" anywhere can be a hazard

And a judge would accept that if a citation were written to the home owner

 

[mark handler]

If the person writing the cite, and the judge, were competent and qualified

 

[cda]

Judge,

We issued a citation for two bags of trash against his house

Judge " will I have three, guess you better come by my house"

"Oh by the way do you have any fire data showing two bags of trash is a problem?"

 

[mark handler]

Maybe you should use the state property maintenance code and not the fire code

 

[Mark K]

Given the strong preference that the courts have for deferring to the determinations of enforcement personnel I would not worry about judges supporting the validity of the citation.

What is a "fire hazard"

From the only true Fire Code:



3.3.121 Fire Hazard. Any situation, process, material, or condition that, on the basis of applicable data, can cause a fire or explosion or that can provide a ready fuel supply to augment the spread or intensity of a fire or explosion, all of which pose a threat to life or property.



The basis for the Judge to disprove is:

"or that can provide a ready fuel supply to augment the spread or intensity of a fire"

You Hwy 101 people

Do you have data two trash bags would "augment the spread or intensity of a fire"

 

[Builder Bob]

Sure, IF you talk to ATF and obtain data, i am sure that trash ignited has causes several fires with fire fatalities involved...

 

[FM William Burns]

Do you have data two trash bags would "augment the spread or intensity of a fire"

There is plenty of NFIRS report data available or check with USFA or NFPA on leaf/grass fires spreading to garages, houses and additional piles and collection bins including bags stored in proximity of structures and vehicles. Personally, I would conduct a controled model test and film it by igniting leaves in a pile having a fan simulate a light wind/breeze and allow the faned embers to collect and ignite the paper leaf bags

 

[RJJ]

So I guess a 5 gal can of gas in the back of my pick up is a fire hazard!

 

[Builder Bob]

Can be...... depends on how you use it.....
