A fire sprinkler system is a simple, but key, active component of a commercial building’s fire protection system. Installed in ceilings or side walls, the system consists of a water supply, a water distribution piping system and sprinkler heads. The sprinkler discharges water automatically when a fire is detected, though it is not triggered by smoke. It controls or extinguishes the fire so is both a fire detection and suppression system.

After approval, you can pay fees online from your ePermits account.  Once fees are paid you can download the approved plans and print out a paper copy of the permit.  Please post the permit fully visible on project site and have a paper copy of the approved plans onsite during construction.
