The plans you recently submitted have been reviewed by the Fire Department referencing the Public Resources Code 4290 and 4291, Butte County Improvement Standards and the 2019 edition
of the California Fire Code (CFC). The comments listed below in the body of this letter must be addressed prior to Fire Department FINAL INSPECTION of your project.
Addressing: All buildings shall be issued an address by the local jurisdiction which conforms to that jurisdiction's overall address system. Accessory buildings will not be required
to have a separate address; however, each dwelling unit within a building shall be separately identified. Size of letters, numbers and symbols for addresses shall be a minimum 4 inch
letter height, ½ inch stroke, reflectorized, contrasting with the background color of the sign. All buildings shall have a permanently posted address, which shall be placed at each
driveway entrance and visible from both directions of travel along the road. In all cases, the address shall be posted at the beginning of construction and shall be maintained thereafter,
and the address shall be visible and legible from the road on which the address is located. Address signs along one-way roads shall be visible from both the intended direction of travel
and the opposite direction. Where multiple addresses are required at a single driveway, they shall be mounted on a single post.
Disposal of Flammable Vegetation and Fuels: Disposal, including chipping, burning or removal to a landfill site approved by the local jurisdiction, of flammable vegetation and fuels
caused by site development and construction, road and driveway construction, and fuel modification shall be completed prior to completion of road construction or final inspection of
a building permit.
DEFENSIBLE SPACE GUIDELINES: A person that owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains a building or structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area, forest-covered lands, brush-covered
lands, grass-covered lands, or any land that is covered with
flammable material, shall at all times do all of the following:
Maintain around and adjacent to the building or structure additional fire protection or firebreak made by removing all brush, flammable vegetation, or combustible growth that is located
within 100 feet from the building or structure or to the property line or at a greater distance if required by state law, or local ordinance, rule, or regulation. Grass and other vegetation
located more than 30 feet from the building or structure and less than 18 inches in height above the ground may be maintained where necessary to stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
This subdivision does not apply to single specimens of trees or other vegetation that is well-pruned and maintained so as to effectively manage fuels and not form a means of rapidly
transmitting fire from other nearby vegetation to a dwelling or structure.
Remove that portion of any tree that extends within 10 feet of the outlet of a chimney or stovepipe.
Maintain any tree adjacent to or overhanging a building free of dead or dying wood.
Maintain the roof of a structure free of leaves, needles, or other dead vegetative growth.
LPG Tank Clearance of Combustibles: Weeds, grass, brush, trash and other combustible materials shall be kept a minimum of 10 feet from LP-gas tanks or containers.
