I have extensive experience in both engineering and <br />site design activities and in firefighting and tire protection issues as well. <br />I understand that, based upon review of your staff report for the above referenced <br />project, there may be concern both on the City's part and the Long Lake Fire <br />Department's part with respea to potential Life Safety and Property Protection <br />issues ii the project vacating the existing street is app,.j»c.a. <br />I have reviewed both your report and the site maps prepared by our office in <br />analyzing this issue. I would offer the following comments regarding these issues. <br />• The current roadway layout requires a "Dump and Go" operation. The <br />"first-in " engine would drop a hose (large diameter) at North Shore Drive <br />and lavout hose up to the residence. The engine company would utilize its <br />water tank (5CC - 1,CCC gal) for an initial attack of a fire. <br />A second engine or a tanker would connect to the hose at North Shore <br />Drive and pump water to the first engine to continue to fight the fire.
