Caldwell Fire Department is the provider of fire and first responder services. Orange County Emergency <br />Medical Services is the provider of emergency medical services. <br />2. Caldwell Fire Department has identified the need for a water source for fire protection for the school. <br />Currently, the fire department uses tankers to transport water to fires in the area. However, due to life <br />safety considerations for an educational occupancy such as this, a water source for fire protection must be <br />designed and installed. The design of the water source shall be approved by the Caldwell Fire Chief and the <br />Orange County Fire Marshal's Office. <br />3. Stacking paces in the driveway shown on the plans must be revised to reflect a twenty (20) foot roadway. <br />Stacking vehicles in the driveway will restrict access to the buildings by emergency response vehicles <br />4. Fire lanes must be installed to access classrooms from the parking lot area. Fire lanes must meet the <br />provisions of the North Carolina Fire Prevention Code. <br />5. Caldwell Fire Department may offer additional comments at a later date. <br />If you need additional information, please contact us. <br />Mike Tapp <br />Deputy Director /Fire Marshal <br />Orange County Emergency Services <br />P.O.
