Back to course
Pdf Summary
The document discusses fire elimination in wood frame construction, highlighting the challenges and responses by AvalonBay Communities. It emphasizes the importance of eliminating sources of fires through measures such as extreme housekeeping, no direct fired heaters on job sites, and the use of flameless heaters. The program also includes components like security with enhanced perimeter fencing and state-of-the-art cameras, as well as detection systems like Pillar Industries that monitor environmental conditions at active construction sites. Fire suppression methods like MFIRE, which renders wood essentially fireproof, are also explored. Underwriting considerations such as limiting hot works, maintaining housekeeping policies, ensuring site security, implementing fire detection protocols, and using fire suppression materials beyond code requirements are discussed. The document concludes with future steps focusing on amending fire codes, tightening regulations, and potential shifts towards non-combustible materials due to legislative efforts and demands from alternative material suppliers. Overall, the emphasis is on proactive measures to prevent and eliminate fires in wood frame construction projects.
