111 <br /> Summary <br /> In summary, a classification system has been developed for crediting the suppression <br /> potential of cities(fire districts)to handle buildings once they are burning. As a credit <br /> ' system it should provide clearer explanations of the value of an existing or improved <br /> condition. It avoids standard requirements wherever possible and is intended to credit any <br /> system, equipment, apparatus or personnel level which is brought to bear on the <br /> 11 suppression problem. <br /> The overall classification will consider the districts average ability to handle fires in all <br /> ' class-rated properties and in specifically rated properties with a needed fire flow of 3500 <br /> gpm or less. The classification of the district will not be affected adversely by fire <br /> suppression needs of larger properties. <br /> The fire department will receive somewhat more credit than the water supply system to <br /> recognize the prime importance of fire department operations in the early stages of fire <br /> suppression, and the fact that some fire suppression operations are possible with less than <br /> • adequate water supply. <br /> 1 L <br /> r <br /> • <br /> 111 <br /> 1 <br /> II <br /> i <br /> ii <br /> 2 <br /> aa(p <br />
