Confiscated car lot fire protection
Confiscated car lot fire protection
(OP)
Hello.
Does somebody know how to protect, refer to a NFPA or other standard, or give hints about fire protection for:
- Confiscated car and motorcycle parking lot.
- Open area, 10000m2 (100x100m, 330x330ft).
- Paved ground surrounded by concrete block wall.
- Rural area
- Some cars may be in abandoned condition, some crashed, others may be in good shape on custody.
- Government facility (non US) but owner interested in applying NFPA as possible.
- A guard post with one or two cameras at the entrance.
I´d like to know if a hydrant system is required or optional or if other means of protection is recommended/required.
Apart from the content itself, surrounding grass maybe an issue, I mean fire in surrounding vegetation (neighboring grass or bushes)
Appreciate all comments.
Thanks a lot.

RE: Confiscated car lot fire protection
I´ve checked the NFPA88, it say for open structures:
"Class I Standpipe, manual, dry type, shall be permitted."
First time I deal with not required, but shall be permitted.
I´d say that I can consider an option of the owner to install it or not. (¿?)
It is for open structures. I think the standard is not clear for a lot or a "extra open structures"

Provide breaks in stock of vehicles
Provide fire hydrant within in reasonable distance to all portions
Any welding or torch use??
RE: Confiscated car lot fire protection
Not sure about welding/torch, i guess it is not a regular activity, may be forbid when distances are not met.
