Modular Buildings and Fire Protection

(OP)
Is anyone outer aware of fire sprinkler requirements for Modular Buildings in California? Preliminary research points me to NFPA 101 but I don't have a copy of this code in the office. I have two modular buildings that will be used for a daycare facility. I've contacted a couple of modular building manufacturers but awaiting answer. Your input is greatly appreciated.

RE: Modular Buildings and Fire Protection

You need to deterine what building code has been adopted in the location where the project is located.

Day care facilites are Group I-4 in the International Building Code.

The fire spinkler requirements are driven by occupancy.

RE: Modular Buildings and Fire Protection

You may also have to check that the municipality has not enacted more stringent requirements-it is not unusual in CA.
