6 National Fire Protection Association Report of 1 2/12/2015 3:06 PM Public Comment No. 1-NFPA [ Section No. 5.5 [Excluding any Sub-Sections] ] Towers with any combustible construction located on a building 50 ft (15.3 m) or more in height shall be provided with Class III standpipe protection with hose connections within 200 within 100 ft ( m) of all parts of the tower. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment By referencing a Class III standpipe you are creating a conflict with NFPA 14 with the 200 ft distance. This proposal brings 214 in compliance with NFPA 14 and removes the conflict. NFPA 14, allows for a maximum of 100 ft (30.5 m) of 1-1/2 inch hose for Class III standpipes. If allowed to be kept at 200 ft (60.9 m), firefighters will need to add/ extend hose lines while working on buildings. And if doing so on buildings greater than 50 ft (15.2 m), they would more than likely be working within confined areas such as stairways and catwalks.
