Functional Statement:

F03

To retard the effects of fire on areas beyond its point of origin.

Objective:

OP1.2

 

APPLICATION:

Extension of combustible material across the end of a firewall.
This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A, and to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9] as stated in Sentence 9.10.11.3.(1).

INTENT:

To limit the probability that combustible material extending across the end of a firewall will lead to the spread of fire around the end of the firewall from an adjacent building to the building, which could lead to damage to the building.

Extension of combustible material across the end of a firewall.

INTENT:

To limit the probability that combustible material extending across the end of a firewall will lead to the spread of fire around the end of the firewall from one building to another, which could lead to harm to persons in the building not originally involved in the fire.

ATTRIBUTION:

Most technical provisions of the BC Fire Code describe how the code’s objectives and functional statements are achieved. However, some provisions, like this one, do not relate directly to a code objective. The following analysis is provided to assist in understanding of the provision.

 

APPLICATION:

Extension of combustible material across a roof above a firewall that terminates on the underside of a reinforced concrete roof slab in conformance with Sentence 3.1.10.3.(2).
This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A, and to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) for application of Part 9] as stated in Sentence 9.10.11.3.(1).

INTENT:

To exempt combustible material that extends across the roof above a firewall from the prohibition on such an extension if certain conditions are met that provide an equivalent level of protection. This is to limit the probability that fire will spread from one side of the firewall to the other.
