Dear Applicant,
A representative of the Mason County Fire Marshal's office conducted an inspection of the
parcel referenced above to verify compliance to Mason County Building Code, Chapter 14.17
Standards for Fire Apparatus Access Roads. A copy of the standards and addressing guidelines
referenced in the standards are enclosed.
PLAN REVIEW REQUIREMENT COMMENTS:
1. During the inspection the Fire Warden found that the access road does not comply with Section
14.17.110 that reads as follows: "A fire apparatus access road which is newly constructed or
existing, and which is in excess of 14% grade, and which is greater than 150-ft from a primary
access point intersecting with a County or State road right of way, to new residential or commercial
construction will require an automatic fire sprinkler to be installed."
A condition concerning the required fire sprinkler system will be placed on the building permit
referenced above. A separate permit shall be required and approved. In addition the Fire
Marshal's office shall complete the fire sprinkler inspection prior to the framing inspection request.
If you have questions please contact the Mason County Fire Warden's office at (360) 427-9670
