Locations shall be approved by the Fire Code Official(NFPA 13 8.16.4.1.3). 15. The location of Fire Department connections (FDC) and post indicator valves (PIV) shall be determined by the Fire Code Official.

The Snohomish County Emergency Radio System is employed by the City of Everett Fire Department emergency crews and operates at 800 MHz. Large metal-framed or metal and concrete buildings can weaken the signal so that communication and,therefore, firefighter safety is compromised. This structure must meet the requirements of EMC 16.03, Section 510, which specifically addresses required radio system performance standards in this structure. Your attention to this feature early in the planning stages will help avoid a costly, last-minute retroactive installation of radio signal amplification antennae and other equipment.
