A new sprinkler system in Highland starts with two calls. One goes to the City of Highland Fire Department's Fire Prevention office, which handles fire plan check and fire marshal questions. The other goes to us. We design the system, prepare drawings for plan check, install the piping and heads, and test it with you before it goes into service.
Plan check runs through the city's Fire Prevention office
Highland contracts with CAL FIRE for fire protection and has its own city fire department with three stations. Fire prevention sits in that department. The city publishes a Plan Check Submittal Checklist for new structures and additions. We prepare the sprinkler drawings and submit them with the items that checklist lists, and the Fire Prevention office reviews them against the fire code the city has adopted.
Which edition is that? Highland adopts the California Fire Code with local amendments, in Chapter 15.06 of its municipal code. Confirm the current edition with the Fire Prevention office at (909) 864-6861 ext. 248 before design work begins.
Water supply sets the design
East Valley Water District provides water service to the City of Highland. Every sprinkler system is sized to the flow and pressure available at the site, so the water supply decides pipe sizes, the riser layout and whether the building needs a fire pump. We size to what's there.
Planned warehouses on 3rd and 5th Street, new shops on Base Line
The city plans industrial and business park uses along the 3rd and 5th Street corridors near SR-210 and I-10. It expects retail, restaurant and entertainment growth on Base Line Street (Town Center) and on Greenspot Road. Each use is designed differently. A warehouse with tall rack storage needs more water over each area of floor than a shop or an office, and a restaurant also needs a hood suppression system over the cooking line (see our Highland kitchen fire system service). Tell us what the space will hold.
Who installs it
California work for 1 Pro Fire is done by Hedrick Fire Protection. Hedrick holds C-16 (fire protection) and C-10 (electrical) contractor licenses, and the California State Fire Marshal licenses it under Title 19 for inspection, testing and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems.
Once the system is live
A new system goes straight onto an inspection schedule. NFPA 25 calls for quarterly and annual inspections, and Title 19 adds a 5-year service and certification by a State Fire Marshal licensed contractor. We do that work as well. See fire sprinkler service in Highland.
Highland sprinkler installation questions
Who reviews sprinkler plans in Highland?
The City of Highland Fire Department's Fire Prevention office handles fire plan check. Reach it at (909) 864-6861 ext. 248.
Is San Bernardino County Fire the fire department for Highland?
No. Highland contracts with CAL FIRE through its own city fire department, so plan check and fire marshal questions go to the city's Fire Prevention office.
Can you add sprinklers to an addition on an existing building?
Yes. The city's plan check checklist covers additions as well as new structures, so the work starts with drawings either way.
