Be it ordained by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah: SECTION 1. That Title 15 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1955, relating to fire prevention, be, and the same hereby is, amended by adding thereto a new chapter to be known as Chapter 16, entitled "Nurseries and Nursing Homes," to read as follows: "CHAPTER 16. NURSERIES AND NURSING HOMES. "Sec. 15-16-1. Definitions. (1) Nursing Home. A nursing home shall mean and include any building or buildings used for the lodging, boarding or nur- sing care on a 24-hour basis of more than five (5) infants or children, convalescents, aged persons or rest patients, but shall not include hospitals or government-operated mental or correct- ional institutions. (2) Nursery. A nursery shall mean any building or build- ings used for the daytime care only of infants or children for more than four (4) hours per week. "Sec. 15-16-2. Local alarm system required. All nursing homes in operation in this city for the accommodation of fewer than fifteen (15) persons and all nurseries accommodating more than twenty-four (24) and less than forty (40) children shall be protected throughout by an approved automatic fire detection and alarm system. "Sec. 15-16-3. Fire department connected alarm system re- quired. All nurseries accommodating forty (40) or more children or housing any children above the first floor, and all nursing homes accommodating more than fourteen (14) and less than twenty- five (25) persons shall be protected throughout either by an approved supervised automatic fire detection and alarm system connected directly into the fire department's alarm signal system by means of a master fire alarm box or by a supervised automatic fire detection and alarm system connected to a pri- vate alarm indicating panel located either in the fire depart- ment's alarm office or in a continously manned central station 57 - 2 operated by an approved and qualified firm or company specializing in detection and alarm service, which has direct communication with the fire department's alarm office. Included as a part of the automatic fire detection system, there shall be at least one manual fire alarm sending station, located at a readily accessible and visible point in the natural path of escape from fire, which shall be connected into the automatic alarm system. "Sec. 15-16-4. Standards of alarm systems. (1) The alarm system shall be so arranged that either the manual or automatic activation of the system will sound a dis- tinctive alarm audible throughout the building. (2) Detectors of the automatic system must be the equivalent of either the rate-of-rise type or the combination rate-of-rise and fixed-temperature type, except that suitable fixed-temperature detectors may be used in furnace rooms or other locations where normal heat fluctuations would unnecessarily activate rate-of-rise detectors. "Sec. 15-16-5. Maintenance of alarm system. The proper maintenance of the private local alarm system and of those alarm systems connected directly into the fire department's alarm signal system up to the connection at the master box shall be the re- sponsibility of the owner, operator or person in charge of such nursery or nursing home. Such owner or operator shall also be responsible for the expense of connecting into the fire depart- ment's alarm system for that portion of the connection that ex- ceeds one-fourth (q) mile from the master box. "Sec. 15-16-6. Inspection. The owner or operator of each nursery or nursing home shall be required to make a suitable in- spection and test of the fire detection alarm system at least once each month and shall have the alarm system inspected and tested at least once each calendar quarter by a qualified technician or licensed electrician. A report showing the condition of the system shall be filed with the fire marshal following each in- spection. "Sec. 15-16-7. Automatic signal for malfunctioning of systems required. Each system shall be electrically supervised in such manner that any malfunction of the system, such as power failure, short circuits, breaks in wires or other condition which might prevent or interfere with the operation of the system, will be indicated by a distinctive audible and visible trouble signal at the office or other designated location. "Sec. 15-16-8. Exceptions to alarm systems allowed in cer- tain buildings. Buildings fully protected by approved automatic sprinkler systems and buildings meeting the requirements of the Uniform Building Code for Type I or Type II construction, or for Type III construction not more than one story in height, and also the requirements for Group D occupancies shall not be required to have fire detection and alarm systems installed as herein required for nurseries or nursing homes; provided, that such Type I, II and III buildings shall be equipped with an approved manually operated alarm system designed to sound an alarm audible throughout the building, with manually operated sending stations installed on each floor near all main exit ways and in the natural path of escape from fire at readily accessible and visible points not likely to be obstructed. - 3 - "Sec. 15-16-9. Automatic sprinkler systems required. All nursing homes having twenty-five (25) or more occupants shall be protected throughout by an approved standard automatic sprinkler system, which shall be maintained at all times in good operating condition and which shall be equipped with a suitable local water- flow alarm and an approved electrical device which will indicate the closing of supply valve or valves by activating a distinctive audible and visible signal at the office or other location de- signated by the fire marshal. "Sec. 15-16-10. Exceptions to sprinkler systems in certain buildings. An automatic sprinkler system shall not be required if the building meets the requirements of the Uniform Building Code for Type I and II construction, or for Type III construction not more than one story in height, and also the requirements for Group D occupancies; provided, that such buildings shall be equipped with an approved manually operated alarm system designed to sound an alarm audible throughout the building, with manually operated sending stations installed on each floor near all main exit ways and in the natural path of escape from fire at readily accessible and visible points not likely to be obstructed. "Sec. 15-16-11. Certain patients not permitted above first floor. Exception. Non-ambulatory or blind patients shall not be permitted above the first floor of any nursing home unless such building is of Type I or II construction, or is protected throughout by an automatic sprinkler system as herein specified and also complies with all of the requirements of the Uniform Building Code for Group D occupancies. "Sec. 15-16-12. Effective date for existing nurseries and nursing homes. All nurseries and nursing homes in existence and operating in this city at the time of the adoption of this ordin- ance shall comply with all the provisions of this ordinance for detection and alarm systems and sprinkler systems set forth in this ordinance on or before the first day of September, 1965. "Sec. 15-16-13. New nurseries and nursing homes to comply with ordinance. No nursery or nursing home not in existence and in operation at the time of the adoption of this ordinance shall be licensed or placed in operation in this city hereafter unless such building is not more than one story in height, or meets the requirements of the Uniform Building Code for Type I and II con- struction, or unless such building is not more than two stories in height and is protected throughout by an approved automatic sprinkler system. Such building shall comply with the provisions of this ordinance and with other city ordinances and regulations pertaining to such occupancies. "Sec. 15-16-14. Unlawful to operate without compliance after the effective date. After the date set herein for compliance, it shall be unlawful for any owner or operator of any nursery or nursing home to operate such nursery or nursing home without com- plying with the provisions of this ordinance." SECTION 2. In the opinion of the Board of Commissioners, it is necessary to the peace, health and safety of the inhabitants of Salt Lake City, Utah, that this ordinance become effective immediately. - 4 - SECTION 3. This ordinance shall take effect upon its first publication. Passed by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah, this 24thday of September, 1963. MAYOR �_.
