Re: Figure 8 Island Proposed Multi-Family Condominium Devclopement
. . , Deax Commissioners:
I have been asked to expound in more particular detail on my previous
letter to the Wilmington New Hanover Planning Department in February, 1979.
,~
In that letter- I was asked to answer two narrow questions concerning
the proposed Development which did not allow me to properly address the risks•
which are inherent in this proposed development . I was asked whether our volunteer
fire department could provide "normal fire service to the project" . To this question
I answered in the affirmative, and still do. However, I wish to now explain my
' ~ ~ answer . • .
~~- Normal fire service or protection - is the level of fire pr. erection
that most people provide for therr~selves with home fire extinguisher and garden
' hose. While this normal service can be provided to Figure 8 Island any fire .. ,'
in the Figur. e 8 Island proposed condominiums could not be classified as normal
' ,and would involve a high degree of risk because of the following facts:
' a. Remoteness -Figure 8 Island is beyond our four mile rating
~. ~ ~; district. It is approximately six miles from the'station to the '.
causeway -the four mile radius is the limit which experience '
. and fire insurance adjustors tell us beyond which the response
time to a fire report would be so late that the chance. of saving -
the structure is minimal. There are gener-al problems associated
. with this area's remoteness: ~• ';:' .-
;~;
' (i) The present bridge is inadequate and at low tide our
tanker truck is not even able to cross to the island .
(ii) Bridge openings - an open bridge during an attempted
"'. response to a fire would cr. Bate an additional risk and hazard.
(iii) Nearest help would be the,,-Winter Park Volunteer .end Sexyy Cate Fire , '
Departments the Empie Park Station or the Ba~-':1ey ~ae<iul ~u~~?in.¢if,} \
'',,
The County Board of Commissioners
Page 2
Hills Station -all of these stations are over fourteen
miles away and their response time would probably
average` thirty minutes to the fire.
• (iv) Our response time -due to our being a volunteer unit
• our members must be summoned at home or at work in
°~~• ~ the event of a fire . During the day (when volunteers
' are at work) the response time to a fire within the four
• ~ ~ mile radius would be ar. ound fourteen minutes . At
night (when volunteers are at home -closest volunteer
' , lives approximately 3/4 mile from the station) the
' response time to a fire would'be around eleven minutes .
' You would have to add approximately four minutes to
these times to compute arrival time to the site of
,,, ,~ • the proposed condominiums on Figure 8 Island.
b. Structure proposed. The proposed condominiums are to be constructed
on pilings elevating the first floors high above the ground level the
main two story structures are to be constructed on top of this. This
' • , is a tall structure and with our present equipment and ladders we
would be unable to reach the roof top which is important in fire
.a ~ protection and fighting : In order to solve this problem an aerial
truck would be the best solution . W e do not have such a truck
. available to us nor will our budget permit one being purchased at
~~ . , this time .
'b. ~. '
In addition, the ocean front condominiums ar. e to be constructed
bf wood siding which has no appreciable resistance to fire . The ~ .
` several buildings are lined up side by side with only approximately
' ten feet separating the buildings. ,The space is inadequate to
' provide any buffer space or zone between buildings and allows little
' access or fighting room between the structures . Each building,
would contain approximately five or six apartments side.by side
which must be considered as one large unit for fire danger and
protection purposes. This poses a much greater risk than single
`. family detached dwellings .
' .. c. Wind Factor-the ocean front condominiums are lined up parallel to the
beach front=this is in general in a line with the normal prevailing
«inds . ~ This wind factor would tend to create an additional hazard
because it would tend to spread the fire down the line rather than away
from the balance of the units. This danger is not present with single
family separated and detached dwellings .
d. Water supply-at present our two pumper truc]ts carry 750 gallons and
1000 gallons respectively. Our two tanker trucks can carry 1200 and
6500 gallons respectively. The large tanker. cannot cross the bridge
at low .tide at present . W e have pointed out that this water supply is
The County Board of Commissioners
Page 3
' inadequate to fight a fire of any size. the swimming pool would ,
provide an additional resevoir in the summer when it is filled but
because of its location would only be of real help if the fire
was in one of the three most southern units . The other units
are too far away to pump the water under sufficient pressure to
' ~ ~ ., the units with present equipment . W e would need an additional
pumper truck to use as a relay . The sound would provide an
additional water source only for the sound side condominiums.
Because of its distance to the ocean front condominiums, it would
be of no real benefit. The present water supply on the island is
inadequate to provide us with sufficient water to fight the type of
fire risk imposed by this development . Our pumps would suck
the present supply on the island dry and it doesn't have any
agpreciab.le recovery rate.
Due to circumstances outlined above it is our opinion that in the event
one apartment unit in the proposed ocean front condominiums became completely
involved with fire the wind factor, remoteness factor, structure factor and lack of
sufficient water would give us little or no chance of saving that apartment or' the
unit in which it was located from destruction . Our efforts would probably be most
productive by concentrating on trying to prevent the fire from spreading down the
;., ~ ro~v to other independent buildings. This takes an awful lot of cooling water. The
fire itself would be like five or six houses burning down at once-alot of heat-this
. magnifies the danger not pr. went on the island at this time. Afire in any end unit
would be most dangerous because of the ventilation factor (i.e. additional windows
and the exposure to the wind,) .. If the wind factor was particularly adverse at the
time of the fire there is the risk of losing all of the units. It should be noted that
even with the 1GSs hazardous single family development presently existing on the
island, the last two fires on the island totally destroyed the houses involved.
It is r_oteworthy that any one of these proposed units is larger than the
normal or average home within our service area and because of its elevation, size,.
location, construction and remoteness pr. esents a much greater risk than is normally
faced by us .
In the event these condominiums are built as proposed and due to the
foregoing risks we would most likely request assistance from o±her units if we .received
a fire report. While it is my opinion their response time would come too late (25 to
30 minutes) to assist in saving the unit in which the fire occurred they would be
helpful in preventing the risk and danger of. the fire being spread down the line.
We again urge that if these condominiums are allowed on Figure 8 Island
that the water storage and pumping capacity on the island must be greatly increased.
Fire hydrants should be installed, access for pumper trucks to the proposed swimming
pool installed and a new bridge capable of handling our large tanker trucks be provided.
i
'v
i~:~
`.,.
The County Board of Commissioners
Page 4
We• shpul~ 1~3~eadditional hose and a third pumper truck and an aerial truck is strongly
recommended.
In summation, the risk and dangers of fire under optimum preventive
circumstances is always too great. If we add to this the normal risk the factors present
with the proposed multifamily condominium development on Figure 8 Island these
being their remoteness, bridge, openings, availability of help, response time, elevation
and height of the proposed buildings, construction material proposed, adjoining
apartments and closeness of buildings to each other, wind factor on condominiums,
inadequecy of water supply or pumping capacity and size of the apartments then in
our opinon the risk is greatly magnifiecl._ ___ _ y__~~`___ _._
