SECTION 2
The Town of Flower Mound hereby adopts the International Fire Code, 2021 edition, including Appendix Chapters B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, and N, as amended herein.

***{Appendix L Requirements For Fire Fighter Air Replenishment Systems amendments}
***Section L101.1; change to read as follows:
Section L101.1 Scope. Fire fighter air replenishment systems (FARS) shall be provided in
accordancewith this appendix in new buildings when any of the following conditions occur:
1. Any new building 5 or more stories in height.
2. Any new building with 2 or more floors below
grade. 3. Any new building 500,000 square feet or
more in size.
Each stairwell shall have a supply riser. SCBA fill panels shall be located on odd numbered floors
commencing at the first level in the primary stairwell and on even numbered floors commencing at
level 2
in the remaining stairwells. Fill panels in buildings over 500,000 square feet shall be located
adjacent toeach standpipe connection.
The adopting ordinance shall specify building characteristics or special hazards that establish
thresholdstriggering a requirement for the installation of a FARS. The requirement shall be based
on the fire department’s capability of replenishing fire fighter breathing air during sustained
emergency operations. Considerations shall include:
1. Building characteristics, such as number of stories above or below grade plane , floor area, type
of construction and fire-resistance of the primary structural frame to allow sustained fire-fighting
operationsbased on a rating of not less than 2 hours.
2. Special hazards, other than buildings, that require unique accommodations to allow the fire
departmentto replenish fire fighter breathing air.
3. Fire department staffing level.
4. Availability of a fire department breathing air replenishment vehicle.
(Explanation: Supplies of fresh breathing air are critical for firefighting operations. Historically, fire
departments have supplied airbottles by manually transporting air bottles up stairways or across
long distances in a building, which is anextraordinarily intensive process and takes firefighters away
from their primary mission of rescue and firefighting. The FARS technology in Appendix L exists to
address this issue using in-building air supply systems. Many jurisdictions in Texas and across the
country have already adopted this Appendix and are enforcing and installing these systems to
improve the life safety of firefighters and enhance their firefighting capabilities in an emergency
incident, which is one of the reasons for recommending this Appendix for adoption – to ensure
State consistency, as well as to improve mutual emergency aid among jurisdictions in Texas.)
***Section L104.13.1; delete this section in its entirety.
(Explanation: The amendment to Section L101.1 above addresses the location criteria for SCBA fill
panels.)
***Section L104.14; add paragraph to read as follows:
The external mobile air connection shall be located with approved separation from the Fire
Department Connection (FDC) to allow functionality of both devices by first responders;
shall bevisible from and within 50 ft. of a fire apparatus access road along an unobstructed
path; and shall be located in an approved signed, secured cabinet.
(Explanation: To accommodate the needs of first responders to be able to locate and utilize the
requiredconnection to ensure air supply availability to this system, similar to the requirements of
FDC’s.)

***{Appendix L Requirements For Fire Fighter Air Replenishment Systems amendments}

***Section L101.1; change to read as follows:

Section L101.1 Scope. Fire fighter air replenishment systems (FARS) shall be provided in accordance with this appendix in new buildings when any of the following conditions occur:

1.Any new building 5 or more stories in height.2.Any new building with 2 or more floors below grade.3.Any new building 500,000 square feet or more in size.
Each stairwell shall have a supply riser. SCBA fill panels shall be located on odd numbered floors commencing at the first level in the primary stairwell and on even numbered floors commencing at level 2 in the remaining stairwells. Fill panels in buildings over 500,000 square feet shall be located adjacent to each standpipe connection.

(Reason: Breathing air is critical for firefighting operations. Historically, fire departments have supplied air bottles by manually transporting air bottles up stairways or across long distances in a building, which is an extraordinarily intensive process and takes firefighters away from their primary mission of rescue and firefighting. The FARS technology in Appendix L exists to address this issue using in-building air supply systems. Many jurisdictions in North Texas and across the country have already adopted this Appendix and are enforcing and installing these systems to improve the life safety of firefighters and enhance their firefighting capabilities in an emergency incident, which is one of the reasons for recommending this Appendix for adoption - to ensure regional consistency, as well as to improve mutual emergency aid among jurisdictions in North Texas.)

***Section L104.13.1; delete this section in its entirety.

(Reason: The amendment to Section L101.1 above addresses the location criteria for SCBA fill panels.)

***Section L104.14; add paragraph to read as follows:

The external mobile air connection shall be located with approved separation from the Fire Department Connection (FDC) to allow functionality of both devices by first responders; shall be visible from and within 50 ft. of a fire apparatus access road along an unobstructed path; and shall be located in an approved signed, secured cabinet.

(Reason: To accommodate the needs of first responders to be able to locate and utilize the required connection to ensure air supply availability to this system, similar to the requirements of FDC's.)

(Code 2005, § 46-42; Ord. No. 2017-41 , §§ 2, 3(exh. A), 12-12-2017; Ord. No. 2022-21 , 2(Exh. A), 2-8-2022)
