Marvin Tull
Gold Country Casino/Hotel
4020 Olive Hwy.
Oro►ville, CA 95966
Mr. min Tull,
This is a courtesy letter regarding the life safety issues at the Gold Country
Hotel/Casino. This information is based on our preliminary walk through of the
facility on January 6, 2005. The items listed are life safety issues and need to be
corrected as soon as possible to protect life and property. Many items need
immediate attention and will be marked with an *.
1. *Fire doors blocked open near service elevator in kitchen. Please inspect
the entire facility to confirm all doors are able to perform as designed.
2. *Exit signs pointed in wrong direction. This was noticed in more than one
location. Signs should point to the closest stairwell or outside exit that lead
to safety (not balconies).
3. *Exit signs in casino are mounted on the ceiling and are too high to see
clearly. Lower or add signs to just above the door, signs must be
illuminated or self -illuminating. CBC 103.2.8.6
4. No low level exit signs in hall or corridor exits. CBC 1003.5.13 and CFC
1212.6
5. *Mark stairwell door indicating floor #. CBC 1003.3.3.13 and CFC 12010.4
6. Lack of manual pull alarms. There is a shortage of pull stations throughout
the entire hotel/casino. CBC 3 10. 10
7. *No emergency lighting seen. Is this integrated into the regular lighting? If
not emergency lighting must be added. CBC 1003.2.9.2
8. *The bus loading and unloading area is in an area that needs to be
designated as a fire lane. The area directly in front of the building on the
west side should be designated "fire lane -no parking". The curb should be
painted red with white writing. As it is now, the busses will be blocking a
fire department connection and fire apparatus access. This area should be
constantly monitored to assure compliance. CFC 1213.1
9. blocked by 2 separate vehicles at time of inspection. Areas around hydrants
and FDC's need to be kept clear for fire apparatus placement and use during
a fire operations. Also, there are no barriers to block vehicles from striking
them. Until permanent barriers can be constructed, area needs to be marked
off and monitored to assure no parking is permitted.
10. On January 4, 2005 the sprinkler system on the 4ti' floor was shut down for
repairs, when any part of the system is shut down the fire department must
be notified and a fire watch must be posted till the system is full restored to
service.
11. *Access to the bowling alley parking area and north side of hotel/casino is
poor due to vehicle parking. As the lanes proceeded past the main entrance
they narrow down to one lane and vehicles being allowed to park along this
area are blocking egress. On January 1' we responded to a medical near the
bowling alley and we almost were not able to make access due to vehicles.
All areas that may impair fire apparatus movement must be addressed and
Kept clear at all times.
12. It appeared that the sprinkler pipe in the stairwell comes out of the
standpipe riser. NFPA 13, 1999 edition, section A-5-15.5.2 states these two
systems should not be interconnected.
13. Electrical boxes not labeled. There are numerous electrical sub panels on
premises, at the very least their needs to be labels on each breaker or have a
printed sheet indicating function. These sheets need to be kept in electrical
box.
14. Restrict storage near electrical boxes. Storage should not block or hinder
access to electrical boxes. Suggest taping area off to limit placement of
items near electrical boxes.
15. The main power shut off boxes need to be labeled accordingly. This facility
has a very complex shut off procedure due to multiple mains and generators
that feed several areas of the entire compound (old and new casino,
modulars, and the bowling alley).
16. Main gas shut off that feeds the hotel/casino requires a special tool and is
not easily located (underground). Use some method to identify shut off,
suggest a sign on a removable box. A shut off tool needs to be placed near
shut off for easy/quick access.
17. *Keys and phones/headsets (that operate the fireman phone jacks) have not
been issued as of yet. We currently have no access to the fire control room
or the elevator systems. A master set of keys should be kept in a well -
marked, central location in case of need.
18. A master copy of all MSDS's should be in a central location. I suggest the
fire control room.
19. Label the fire control room door.
20. Computer room on 3rd floor. This area protected by a system that displaces
oxygen and anyone entering the room after the system has activated will be
overcome. Label the door stating, "Do not enter after system has activated
without self-contained breathing apparatus'
21. Label the doors that house the bottles for the suppression system with a
compressed cylinder label.
22. Several breaches in the sheetrock and drop ceiling noted. Sheetrock and
panels must be repaired to prevent/slow fire movement.
23. *Several evacuation drawings do not state "you are here" and point to area
where the drawing is posted.
24. *Immediate on the fire control room functions (computer system)
and the sprinkler systems needed. Fire personnel need to understand how
the systems work prior to a fire, once a fire starts it will be too late.
Thank you for allowing us to be involved in your efforts to make your facility
safe for all to enjoy. Should you have any questions please call me at (530) 538-
7228.
Sincerely,
Tony Brownell

An issue that will soon affect your hotel/casino operation must be bought to
your attention. Unfortunately, a letter like this is necessary when a long,
working relationship with developers would be greatly preferred. Typically, for
commercial construction, plans are approved through the fire department so
that all parties are aware of needs. Information flows both ways so that fire
safety is built into a structure and the fire department can serve the public.
Such a procedure can also help save money on fire insurance, and it can save
lives and property in an emergency.
Battalion Chief Dan Dyer met with you a couple of years ago and requested a
set of building plans. Chief Dyer and the County of Butte have also made other
written and oral contacts with the County trying to establish a communication
channel. The effort has been to no avail: which leads us to one of many
problems.
The exterior steel walls being installed at the hotel will prohibit any firefighter
radio communications from inside the building. If your contractors are
installing a radio communication system, then it is unknown to us and may not
work with our radios.
Federal OSHA standards are very specific regarding safety of firefighters at
structure fires. A firefighter may not enter a hazardous atmosphere (smoke,
etc.) unless they do so in pairs and have two more people outside in case the
firefighters need rescuing. The second part of this requirement is that the inside
ka
firefighters MUST have communications with the firefighters on the outside. It
is our sincere belief that this will not be possible without an engineered system
in the new building. This concern for radio traffic is shown, in part, by our
frequent inability to communicate from inside the current tent structures. The
synthetic skin should allow for easy transmission, but perhaps the casino
electrical usage has some special effect. If steel walls are added to the equation,
there is little doubt that radio communication will be dramatically impacted.
Our firefighters routinely train on this "two -in two -out" rule. We do not plan
on violating this law on your property. The bottom line is that we may not be
able to fight a working fire inside your new building. We would be able to
spray water from the outside, but this tactic is normally used to "drown" a
destroyed building. Firefighter say, in reference to aerial ladders, "When the
stick go up, the walls go down." You may wish to discuss this with your
insurance company.
Please contact Battalion Chief Dan Dyer at 538-3+946. (or by letter at the
address above). Your fire department is being kept out of the loop on many
important items. We need to get a productive dialogue going.

Henri Brachais

Steve,
Clark County (Las Vegas)FD had the same problem in some of their
casinos. As part of their approvals, I know they made some of the
casinos install repeaters so emergency responders could communicate with
each other. I'm not sure of the details, but you might give them a

Subject: Casino Walls
Steve: Sounds like a BDA (Br Directional Amplifier) would do the trick, either a
powered {expensive} or passive (cheap) system could work. I can give you some
ideas but I need more info. Your on VHF but what frequency (or frequencies) do
you use. Is this a repeated, simplex, half duplex system? Where is the
transmitter in proximity from / to the Casino? Is there more than one casino you
need to penetrate? Do you have a transmit, receive, or both problem?
VHF radio signals are roughly six or seven feet tall (wavelength). Most windows

use the casino radios since we are all on 800 mhg band. There security

Steve; There is/was a product called Radiax (sic) that is a continuous
cable tuned for your freq set. It's used big time in subway tunnels and
the like. I used it in a couple of projects, and it's expensive, yet
very good stuff. You might want to try Talley Communications

Clark County (Las Vegas)FD had the same problem in some of their

Subject: Casino Walls
Steve: Sounds like a BDA (Bt Directional Amplifier) would do the trick, either a
powered (expensive) or passive (cheap) system could work. I can give you some
ideas but I need more info. Your on VHF but what frequency (or frequencies) do
you use. Is this a repeated, simplex, half duplex system? Where is the
transmitter in proximity from / to the Casino? Is there more than one casino you
need to penetrate? Do you have a transmit, receive, or both problem?
VHF radio signals are roughly six or seven feet tall (wavelength). Most windows
are smaller than that so the signals at VHF get clipped and chopped up. A BDA
receives the signs{ from an antenna outside the building and "retransmits" the
same signal inside the building via an antenna inside. Powered BDA's also amplify
the signal to increase the signal level inside the structure. You can also try

10. Add a smoke detector in the changing room near the stage. Inspect and
change all batteries in battery-operated detectors twice yearly.
11. Breach in construction in the kitchen storage area. Seal around were
pipes/wire conduit breach wall and replace missing plywood on the ceiling.
I recommend using a fire resistive material such as sheet rock instead of
plywood in this area. Plywood adds to the fire load and promotes fire
spread.
12. Open corridor between the restaurant/bingo area and the main casino floor.
Add automatic fire doors to slow/stop the spread of fire and smoke from
one area to the next.

manual pull boxes that would alert security and patrons with both sound and

May 2, 2003
Marvin, this is a courtesy letter regarding the life safety issues at Tyme to Bowl. This
information is based on our walkthrough of the facility on May 2, 2003. I have
listed each life safety item and with the recommended correction.
1. House keeping, flammable material stored within 2 feet of the water
heater. Remove and maintain clearance around possible ignition
sources such as water heaters.
2. Large cylinders stored without fall restraints. Chain all cylinders to the
wall to prevent injury and damage if the cylinders should fall over.
3. Extinguisher must not be mounted no more than 5 feet off the floor and
no less than 4 inches from the floor. Check all extinguishers to assure
they are properly mounted.
4. No spare sprinkler heads. Maintain a supply of spare sprinkler heads.
5. "Maximum occupancy Load " sign. Post sign in a visible
location.
Thank you for allowing us to be involved in you efforts to make your facility safe.
Should you have any questions please call me at (530) 538-7228.
Sincerely,
Tony Brownell
Fire Captain
