SUB.JECT: Life Safety Issues of the Old Jail
DATE: October 24, 2000
This shall confirm a meeting today with Bob Stone, James Bruce, David Fraga, Key West Fire
Marshal, Wayne Robertson, County Risk Manager and Joe London, County Fire Marshal regarding
the upgrade of the fire alarm system at the Courthouse Annex in Key West. We discussed the Fire
Official's concern for the overall life safety requirements of the building occupants and the ability to
exit the building during an emergency situation such as a fire in progress.
We discussed providing a life safety plan certified by a fire protection engineer that addresses the
mixed use of the building, and the means of egress components, i.e: number of exits, arrangement of
exits, discharge of exits, illumination of exits, emergency lighting and marking of means of egress.
This life safety plan should also include an approved certified fire alarm system, and certified fire
sprinkler system. The scope of work should provide a starting date with an estimated completion date
and approved by the Key West Fire Marshal (Authority Having Jurisdiction).
If I can be of further assistance please notify me. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
