SCHEMATIC DRAWINGS
Schematic drawings are required of the building, interior and building site
plan, showing the location of fire protection equipment. These drawings do
not have to be to scale, but should be clear and rooms identified if possible.
Use the symbols at the bottom of the page to identify their locations (if
applicable). If there are multiple floor levels, and the layout is typical on
each, only one drawing is required. (i.e. floors 2-12 typical, would be noted at
floor no. box).
Two site plans and three floor plans have been included. You may make
additional copies if required.
