NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FIRE PREVENTION OFFICER’S

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS COMMITTEE

February 23, 2007 – Woodland 

In Attendance:

Larry Monette - Consultant

Kent Miller - Stockton Fire

Paul Easter - Modesto Fire

Ron Keefer - Menlo Park Fire

Paul Inouye - Milpitas Fire 

Discussed F46-06/07 proposal concerning the maximum quantity of combustible fuel allowed in a building. At first glance it appears that the proposal would allow unlimited aggregate quantity (limited to the number of control areas) in a building as long as the individual tanks do not exceed 660 gallons. Needs further review.

Reviewed F205-06/07 concerning liquid oxygen in home health care. It requires interior signage but not exterior signage. Regulating this would be extremely difficult, needs further review.

Reviewed the aerosol hand sanitizer proposal. The fire code committee is tracking this and we will provide input if needed.

We decided a mid month meeting is needed prior to May, looking at the second week of April. 

Respectfully Submitted,

Kent Miller

Paul Inouye
