Fire-fighting height

The fire-fighting height of a building (excluding the top technical floor) is determined as follows:

Equal to the maximum distance from the fire truck access road surface to the lower edge of the open window (door) on the outer wall of the top floor;

Equal to half the total distance from the fire truck access road surface to the floor surface and to the ceiling of the top floor – when there is no window (door).

NOTE 1: When the roof of a building is utilized, the fire-fighting height of the building is determined by the maximum distance from the fire truck access road surface to the top edge of the roof parapet wall.

NOTE 2: When determining the fire-fighting height, the roof of a building is not considered utilized if people are not frequently present on the roof.

NOTE 3: When there is a balcony (loggia) or window covering structure (railing), the fire-fighting height is taken as the maximum distance from the fire truck access road surface to the top edge of the covering structure (railing).
