July 22, 1983 <br />EVERETT PUBLIC MARKET <br />MONTE-CRAUSSEE, OWNER <br />2804 GRAND AVENUE CITY of <br />EVERETT, WA 98201 everett <br />Dear Mr. Chausee: <br />2801 OAKES • 259E287 <br />The decision to develop this structure into the Everett Public Market EVERETT, WASHINGTON <br />represented a significant change in the character of the use of the building. 98t01 <br />FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />Although the use classification remains unchanged, the real hazards are <br />considerably increased. The additional fire load represented by the <br />construction of the many individual vendor shops and the adOlt,innal life <br />safety risk involved When the occupant load jumps as it has, require a long <br />`a_1 .'.!nk by -hc 71rr. Preventi,r B•rna. <br />The first consideration is whether or not the structure can discharge its <br />occupants quickly and safely. Much work needs be done in this area. <br />the second is the ability of the structure to resist a fire's onslought. This <br />whole building is of combustible construction with the exception of exterior <br />walls. There is no resistiveness of construction. It is quite possible that <br />an interior fire could overwhelm the existing sprinkler system and consume the <br />building. <br />It becomes necessary to maintain the strictest vigilance in a fire prevention <br />program. Every precaution must be taken to insure a fire does not start or <br />that if it does, that it has l u tie chance to sp�eau. <br />With this in mind, the requirements listei below deal with the overall <br />operation of the structure. Problems within individual areas will be dealt <br />with individually. You will receive copies of any correspondence sent to them. <br />I. Sprinkler System <br />1. Remove those items obstructing access to the sprinkler control <br />valve and maintain a minimum three (3) foot clear area to and <br />around the control valve. <br />2. Provide adequate illumination for the valve room. <br />3. Provide a supply of extra sprinkler heads (per enclosed <br />schedule), a sprinkler wrench and a cabinet for the storage of <br />same. <br />
