Ree Salem News Project 141 Canal Street Building #3 n Salem, Mass. 01970 41 ,� Sirse As a result of a conference held this date betwetrn Fire Chief James F. Brennan, City Electrician John Condon .arid myself, it has fli ii been determined that the following recommendatio:is shall. be requtx�q& 1 for compliance with the Fire and Building Codes, for approval,, of the fire alarm system; at Bldg, #3r Salem New.,, Press. Rooms # 1. It has been determined as a result of testing the regular!," interior fire alarm system, that no audible or visual devices are installed in the first floor or mezzanine levels of ,thee` t� � new construction area. }t 2. It appears that the plans approved by me, on ?ebruary' l5,' 10 8'1 dial not provide the audible and visual . device ; for the regular t interior fire alarm system, except one which 'i.s located in the , " mail, room. I apparently assumed that the Hal..in devices would bgg used as the audible and visual devices for th:a interior ,fire 9jj alarm system, ; and at this test date I have fo .ind this .to ,be untr'u{t 3. Whereas the new occupancy shall. require adequate audio and visa evacuation alarms, I must at this time order that sufficient f' I. devices be added to the regular fire alarm sy >atem, placed, in �4 Bldg. #3 on both levels, to provide the requi :ied audio and visu411 alarms for this area. . Sufficient devices sh.al.l be installed v' to provide 85db of sound over the noise normaf.l.y existing in i' the press room. A test of the devices shall. ':ie required, befog I the new occupancy is approved by this office. d 4. The Halon pre-signal alarm devices as presently installed shall'i. be used as evacuation audio and visual device.;, but the; 14ns on the visual portion of the device shall be changed to yellow or green, to signify the activation of the Halon system and ,the need to evacuate for this purpose. I, 5. By use of this system., the purpose for which tach was designed to serve ehall be met. The Halon system will provide its ownI pre-warning signal which also will. require evacuation and the entire complex shall be aware of any alarm which occurs in the properties owned by the Salem News, 6. I have discovered during the test that the sprinkler system is in poor condition. The piping leaked and no I-,est gaugeschave been provided at the .inspectors test points. A test of this portion of the system should be conducted in my presence , when 'y work is completed, p Rpectf�u�Ly�ui mi. ted, cce Building & Electrical Insp..��J 'lvd,/�c 7�-t-z1 Salem News llavid J .

Oscar Padjen Archetects , Inc, Rea Salem News Printing Plant 50 Cross Street Topsfi.eld , Mass. Sirs % plans have been revei_ewed this date with Mr. Rossi, :For the addition to the Salem News p.rintinR plant, As of this date we have not recpi.ved any plans For tamped approval, It, appears that as of thin date no plans are evai lnbl.e :for the fire alarm system requested by this office, This office has been placed on record stating that the structure along with the existing structures shall be protected with an approved fire alarm system, connected to the City of Salem Fire Alarm office, The present fire alarm connection, Muster Alarm Box 181 , is not practi- cable under prevent; conditions to handle an additional connection, The present alarm box being a, shunt type cannot carry an additional load and shall be taken into consideration when planning for the new fire alarm system. Tn the interest of economy , it has been determined that it may be feasabl.e to update the present alarm master box at this time to a. local energy supervised syntem , with interior connections available for present fire protection an well as the addition of a new :vection for the addition being constructed. This would entail less cable than needed for an entire new system connected just for the new addition and the presently not: apLroved system covering the adjoining building. A bl.a.nk door would also be recommended at this time for the master box' to eliminate outside false alarms. The new addition as well as the altor,ntions occuring in the present press area, will raqui.rc the installation of the Ma.1on system an suggested , manual local stations , and a water flow valve for separate designation on an annunciator for the sprinkler systems. Customized nnnunci.at:i.on is mandatory. An alarm system is mandatory, Plans are required showing all types and locations of the proposed installation, per. Salem Fire Prevention Regulation #15A. These plans are to be stamped approved prior to the issuance of a building permit. Total :fire alarm prot:ect.ion :is necessary due to the determination that the operations conducted are or may become dangerous as a fire hazard or may be detrement:al to the u"n, or occupancy, lop' In the interest of permitting continued construction, and so as to not create any undue hardship; the Salem Fire Department will accept a letter of intent or specification addenda page stateing the type and location of fire supression systems to be used and the intent to provide an entire new fire alarm connection from1he new structure in conjucnction with the present structure which will become an integral part of the operation or an intent to connect the entire operation to a- customized annunciator operation with a local energy supervised system per NFPA Standard 72C and Salem Electrical Dept. Regulations. Upon receipt of the letter of intent, we will then determine if it is, possible to stamp same approved , and give a thirty day exten- sion on submission of plans.
