 When
dealing with the issues of fire protection it is often necessary
to rely upon specialists in other areas to properly tackle
the job. There are two ways in which the fire protection industry
solves problems:
Code Solution - Find a
situation in the codes that matches the general conditions
of your problem and utilize their solutions.
Real Solution - Find a
situation in the codes that matches the general conditions
of your problem and add in the 'real world' conditions that
exist in your situation to come up with a solution.
At JMW & Associates we consider the code books a valuable
resource tool, however we do not consider them the ultimate
solution. Codes are written as a minimum standard for a general
class of conditions. As you may imagine, it is impossible to
capture all the 'real world' conditions that exist out in the
field in a set of books. This is why we prefer the Real
Solution in approaching fire protection.
