What is the maximum distance a fire department access road can be located from the exterior door of a single family home with an approved automatic sprinkler system?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

According to NFPA 1, Fire Code, and NFPA 1141, Standard for Fire Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Wildland, Rural, and Suburban Areas, the maximum distance a fire department access road can be from the exterior door of a single-family home equipped with an approved automatic sprinkler system is typically 150 feet (46 meters). This allows the fire department to access the property effectively while providing some flexibility in site planning and landscaping.

That makes sense, but I'm still going with 100 ft.

I believe it's 150 ft because the sprinkler system can cover a larger area.

Hmm, I'm thinking A. 50 feet sounds about right - any farther and the firefighters might as well bring their hiking boots!

I'm gonna have to go with D. 200 feet gives the fire department a little extra breathing room, you know? Safety first!

I think D is a good choice too, better to have more distance just in case.

C'mon, 150 feet? That's like a whole football field! I'm gonna go with B - 100 feet seems more reasonable.
