Il Name of Contractor i I JPN-1-2002 10:30- FROM: TO:919789223109 F:2 1 � 0 March 18, 2010 File: 4159 Ms. Carolyn Barrett Quality Enhancement Specialist The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Mental Retardation P.O. Box A Hathome, Massachusetts 01937 Subject: Bass River Day Service Center, 12 Hanson Street, Salem,Massachusetts Dear Ms, Barrett, We visited the Bass River Day Service Center on February 23,2010. This building is used to provide community based day support programs to several individuals. It is a two story building with day programs on both floors. It is not a residential facility. We met with Ed Potvin of Bass ,River and John Crowell of Deer Hill Architects. The Bass River has provided access for intermittent use to the second floor for participants that use a wheelchair. This access is provided by a lift. Bass River would like to create an area of rescue on the second floor at the entrance to the lift, and be allowed the use of the wheel chair lift for evacuating occupants that require mobility assistance. The building is constructed of wood timbers and it.is sprinklered. It does not have a central station that monitors the fire alarm system. The lift is located beside the front stair tower of the building. The top of it is accessible by a landing at the top of the stairs and the bottom of it leads _ into a large function room where there is a path to an exit. The landing at the top of the stairs is a small area and it has two doors that feed the stairway. Lifts arc not allowed to be used in an evacuation. The stairway has a ninety degree bend in it so it may be difficult for maneuvering an occupied wheel chair down the stairs. Additionally, the second floor stair landing does not have sufficient room for a wheel chair and the opening of the exit doors that feed the stairway. Therefore,we would not approve of the use of the lift and the area of rescue at the top of the front stair. W e did review the rest of the building in order to develop an alternative approach for providing an area of rescue for a limited number of individuals in wheelchairs who might access the second floor on an intermittent basis. There is a rear stair from the second floor that feeds the rear exit FIREPROO incorporated 1600 Osgood Street North Andover,MA.01845-1.048 Phone: 781.270.5200 Fax: 781.229,2922 J,GN-1-2002 10:3© FROM: TO:919789=1U9 P:3 b l Ms. Carolyn Barrett March 18, 2010--Page 2 of the building. This exit of the building is the location where the Salem fire department normally arrives upon receipt of an alarm. The stair is straight and the stairway is enclosed in a rated wall system. At the top of the stairs has an enclosed landing and outside of the landing is an open room. The landing is not large enough to provide an area of rescue,however the space outside of the landing is an open area which could be reconstructed to provide an area of rescue. We would require that the area of rescue be limited to the space needed to hold three wheelchairs and their supporters. In order to provide an area of rescue the following should be performed: • Design the area of rescue as a separate vestibule located outside the stair landing with a separate doors that feed the vestibule and feed the stair landing. The vestibule will allow the normal egress traffic to utilize the stair and minimize confusion of the occupants using the stair. Provide a fire rating of the vestibule, including its floor and its first floor supporting structure with the same fire rating as the existing stairs. The existing stair doors are one and one half hour rated, whicb would imply that the stairway fire rating is two hours. • The area of the vestibule should be made appropriate for the potential number of wheelchairs and walkers that may be intermittently occupying the second floor. The area of the vestibule shall be based on the requirements of the latest edition of 789 CMR the Massachusetts State Building Code and 521 CMR Architectural Access Board. This area shall not have less than an area of 30 inches by 48 inches for each wheel chair. Additional area for each wheelchair may be needed for the supporters. • The area of rescue vestibule shall have a manual fire alarm station installed in iL • The area of rescue vestibule shall be sprinklered. A central station monitoring system shall be established. There are two approaches to the monitoring system: the first is to use telephone lines that would require a monthly cost for the telephone lines and the central station, the second is to use a radio system that would only require the monthly cost for the central station. A third alternative may be to install a master box which would ring directly to Salem Fire Department. • The Salem Fire Department should be notified about the existence and location of the area of rescue. JaM-1-2002 10:30 FROM: TO:9197B9223109 P:4 A i Ms. Carolyn Barrett March 18, 2010--Page 3 We would suggest that the drawings for the area of rescue be.presented to us for review prior to submitting them for construction. Based on our acceptance of the drawing we would approve the use of the Rescue Area as long as the facility remains a day program facility. I We strongly recommend that access to the second floor for people using wheelchairs be restricted until the revised fire safety measures indicated in this letter have been completed. .FIREPRO„makes all reasonable efforts to incorporate practical and advanced fire protection concepts into its advice. The extent to which this advice is carried out affects the probability of fire safety. It should be recognized,however,that fire protection is not an exact science. No amount of advi erefore,guarantee freedom from either ignition or fire damage. Regards F N FIREP Olnco ated � �^ Si3 LEC. a � L1eVIFQ � FMEPRQjECnON Lee C. DcVi o,P.E.
