These sprinklers, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), could fail in a fire, exposing the public to injury or death. Consumers and property owners should determine whether their facilities contain these recalled sprinklers, and if so, call the Star Sprinkler Recall Hotline, 800-866-7807. Or, the public can access the recall website at www.star-recall.com. Mealane will provide free replacement sprinkler heads and reimbursement for labor costs of removing and replacing the old units. The sprinklers have been installed nationwide, primarily in nursing homes, according to recall reports. They also may be found in hospitals, schools, resorts, stores, office buildings, warehouses, and supermarkets. The CPSC reports 67 percent of a test group of sprinklers submitted to independent testing laboratories failed to activate as they should. The CPSC received one report of a Star sprinkler allegedly not functioning in a bedroom fire in a nursing home. The Star sprinklers being recalled are dry-type models D-1, RD-1, RE-1, E-1 and ME-1 made from 1961 through 1976. The name "Star" appears on the sprinkler, along with the model number and date of manufacture. The former Star Sprinkler Co. sold its assets and changed its name in June 1976, becoming known as the Mealane Corp.

  October 6 is when people will practice their home fire escape plans

"The Great Escape" is Wednesday, October 6, at 7 p.m. (or some other locally-designated date or time), when people throughout North America will practice their home fire escape plans. "The Great Escape" during Fire Prevention Week, October 3-9, 1999, is part of a three-year effort started in 1998 to get more people to develop and practice a home fire escape plan. According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) organizers, nearly 250,000 families participated in "The Great Escape" last year, with 25 lives "saved as a direct result." "Most people underestimate fire's power and speed. In the best case, you only have just one or two minutes to escape a typical home fire safely," according to the NFPA. "Home fire escape planning and practice are critical to life safety because they ensure that everyone knows how to use those minutes wisely and escape unharmed," NFPA materials stated. "Clearly, `The Great Escape' has had a life-saving impact on the public," says Meri-K Appy, NFPA's vice president for public education. "My ultimate hope is that `The Great Escape' reaches every community in North America, inspiring families everywhere to take action and learn to be safer from home fires." Appy said more people die from fire in their homes than any other location. As an incentive for people to get involved in the unified fire drill, NFPA is also holding two contests for "The Great Escape" participants. The winner of each contest will receive a trip for four to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. NFPA's major funding partners for Fire Prevention Week 1999 are KIDDE Safety, a manufacturer of home safety products, Procter and Gamble, a consumer product company, and The United States Achievement Academy Educational Foundation, a nonprofit organization promoting consumer awareness.

  Missed plan review appointments are costing S&B resources

Image alt text "Where are those plans?" People who make plan review appointments with the Safety and Building Division, and then don't show up or send in the plans, are costing other submitters use of plan review resources. A review of six months of plan review scheduling evidenced missed appointments affecting 300 hours of work time in the buildings plan review area alone. That's plan entry time lost scheduling and rescheduling appointments. That's reviewer and supervisor time lost juggling work assignments. In some cases, review time was lost altogether when other plans were not available to review. In buildings plan review, over the first six months of 1999, 109 different submitters accounted for 147 missed appointments. Five submitters missed three or more appointments. In the plumbing review area, 37 submitters had 64 missed appointments, with three submitters having more than three missed sessions. S&B sent letters to submitters who missed three or more appointments, warning their scheduling privileges may be revoked if the pattern continues. The division fills the gaps with other work as best it can, but can't always help plan submitters who are waiting in line when someone else doesn't show up. Missing appointments is wasting plan review resources. There are times when plan review submitters just can not meet the appointment they made, for one reason or another. It's important in those cases that submitters call the office where the appointment is scheduled at least three days in advance, so S&B staff can arrange to have other plans available for the reviewer to work on.

  Electrical questions and answers

by the Safety and Buildings Division Electrical Program staff

A Closer Look at the Wisconsin Electrical Code Image alt text 1) A new "C-Store" has two occupants. One is a popular fast food restaurant. The other is the convenience store with gasoline dispensers. Can each occupant have their own service? Answer - No. Section 230-2 limits one building to one service drop or lateral. None of the exceptions apply to a typical C-Store. Each occupant must be individually metered. Section 230-40 Exception No. 1 permits each occupancy in a multi-occupancy building to have a set of service entrance conductors run to the occupancy. The service entrance conductors must terminate in a service disconnect the complies with Comm 16.25-(4) and Section 230-70. In that case, some type of separation such as walls, doors, security gates, etc., must divide one tenant space from the other. If the separation is not provided, the service disconnects shall be grouped to comply with Section 230-72. 2) Firewalls divide a large industrial building into two separate spaces. The "four- hour" firewalls have openings such as doors. The service is in one part of the building. Can I run more than one feeder to the other part? Answer - Yes. Section 225-30 generally limits a building or separate structure to one feeder or branch circuit. A single structure divided into one or more parts with or without firewalls is one building, therefore Section 225-30 does not apply. 3) A telephone company wishes to supply an entire small building with stand-by power. A pin and sleeve connector is located on the outside of the building. The connector is wired to a transfer switch. The transfer switch is connected ahead of the service disconnect. Is this legal? Answer - No. Section 230-82 limits the type of equipment connected to the supply side of the service disconnect. Transfer switches are not on the list. If the transfer switch was rated "suitable for use as a service disconnect," it then becomes the service disconnect. To comply with section 230-91, the service overcurrent device shall be an integral part of the service disconnecting means, or be located immediately adjacent to the disconnecting means. Immediately adjacent means located on the same side of the wall. 4) Firewalls divide a large industrial building into three separate spaces. The first space is 10,000 square feet of office, the second, 25,000 square feet of factory, the third, 100,000 square feet of storage. Is the building required to have a stand-by source of power for emergency and exit lights? Answer - Yes. Even though the individual areas are less than the minimum square footage noted in Table Comm 16.46, the combined area exceeds the values listed in Column B. 5) The roof of a new school is constructed with metal bar joists supporting metal roof decking. The roof for the gymnasium is higher than, and not physically connected to, the roof over the school. Must both sections of the roof be bonded to the electrical service? Answer - Yes. Section 250-104(d) requires exposed structural steel to be bonded. The bonding conductor is sized per Table 250-66 and installed to meet sections 250-64(a), (b), and (e). The point of attachment can be at any convenient point, but must be accessible. 6) A swimming pool is surrounded by low voltage lighting fixtures mounted to the concrete deck. The fixtures are cord and plug connected, GFCI protected, and located four feet from the edge of the pool. The receptacles are of the `twist-lock' type and located five feet from the pool edge. The branch circuit feeding the receptacles is also GFCI protected. Does this installation comply with Article 680? Answer - No. The fixtures may be "low-voltage," but they still present a shock hazard. The GFCI protection alone is insufficient. Section 680-6(b)(4) requires a five-foot horizontal separation between the deck-mounted fixtures and the edge of the water. 7) Are thermostats for "supplemental" baseboard heating units required to be accessible to handicapped individuals? Answer - Yes, if the baseboard heating equipment is located in a space covered by either the federal Fair Housing Standards or the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines. Check with the architect or building inspector to see if the space in question is covered by the rules. Take a typical handicap-accessible apartment unit for example. Section 57.85 of the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code require light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats, circuit controls, and other environmental controls to be located no lower than 15 inches and no higher than 48 inches above the floor. The code does not differentiate between "required" heating and "supplemental" heating units. 8) A local inspector required us to bond the hot water pipe to the cold water pipe. The cold water pipe was already bonded to the service disconnect. Was the inspector correct? Answer - Yes, if there was no metal to metal continuity between the hot and cold water pipes. Section 250-104(a) requires the "interior metal water piping system" be bonded. Be sure to bond across any insulating couplings or other plumbing equipment that breaks the bonding continuity.

Image alt text   Retrofitting backflow preventers in existing fire sprinkler systems By John Lippitt, Safety and Buildings Division Fire Safety Program Manager Recently, I was asked: How does NFPA 13:4-15.4.6.1 apply to an existing pipe schedule sprinkler system? The question is in reference to a rule that was added to NFPA 13 in the 1996 edition, which is the current state code in Wisconsin. The rule is intended to apply to an existing hydraulically-designed sprinkler system where an evaluation of the water supply is performed and compared to the original design calculations to determine proper system operation, prior to the retrofit installation of a backflow preventer. The code requires that when a backflow preventer is installed into an existing sprinkler system a hydraulic analysis of the system is to be performed to ensure the backflow preventer will not have a negative impact on the operation of the system. This is an important consideration because a backflow preventer is an obstruction in the system water supply. Proper design, installation and maintenance of these backflow preventers is critical to ensure adequate waterflow to control and suppress a fire.

  S&B developing fire prevention rules for fireworks

By John Lippitt, Safety and Buildings Division Fire Safety Program Manager In August, state Department of Safety and Professional Services Secretary Brenda Blanchard approved a statement of scope for the development of changes to the state Fire Prevention Code, Comm 14, regarding the storage, handling, and use of fireworks. S&B will be creating a new task group to help in the development of the rule changes. The Fireworks Task Group will be making recommendations to the Fire Safety Code Council and the senior managers of S&B. I anticipate the invitations to participate on the task group will be mailed this fall and task group meetings will begin in the spring of 2000. Because of the complexities involved and the necessary research, I expect several years will be required to develop and adopt new fireworks rules. Questions may be directed to me at jlippitt@commerce.state.wi.us, or 608-266-1036. Image alt text
