30、opment in Wildland, Rural, and Suburban Areas 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA 1141, Standard for Fire Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Wildland, Rural, and Suburban Areas, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Wildland and Rural Fire Protection. It was issued by the Standards

31、 Council on May 13, 2016, with an effective date of June 2, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1141 was approved as an American National Standard on June 2, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 1141 Work on NFPA 1141 began in 1972 by the former Technical Committee on Su

32、burban and Rural Fire Prevention and Promotion in response to needs expressed by several members. Several drafts were prepared, and a document was adopted by the Correlating Committee on Suburban and Rural Fire Protection and Prevention (predecessor to the current committee) for presentation at the

33、1977 Annual Meeting. Due to technical problems, the standard was withdrawn from the meeting agenda. Following reorganization of the committee in 1982, a task group undertook a review and update of the 1977 document, which resulted in the 1985 edition prepared by the committee. The current committee

34、revised the 1985 edition, resulting in the 1990 edition. The committees proposed revision for the 1995 edition was returned to the committee to clarify specic issues on conicting requirements between NFPA 1141 and NFPA 1144, and other requirements and NFPA 1 and NFPA 101 . The requisite changes resu

35、lted in moving the document to a 1998 revision cycle. In the 1998 edition, the committee was able to resolve many issues in clarity and consistency by bringing the document into concert with NFPA 1 and NFPA 101. Because of specic re protection circumstances found in rural areas (as listed in the rev

36、ised scope and purpose of the document), the committee continued to require that some elements remain more restrictive than comparable elements referenced in other NFPA documents. In the 2003 edition, the technical committee responded to the rapid development of structures into areas that present un

37、usual characteristics to responding re agencies and worked extensively on making NFPA 1141 current with other documents and more usable by adopting jurisdictions. The committee was particularly interested in keeping the exibility in the application of the standard by jurisdictions so that it works w

38、ith existing codes and standards that may or may not adequately cover planned building groups. In the 2008 edition, the scope of the document was revised to focus on providing guidance on the development of the community infrastructure necessary to eliminate re protection problems that result from r

39、apid growth and change. The title change from Fire Protection in Planned Building Groups to Fire Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Suburban and Rural Areas also reected this broader look at the challenges facing suburban and rural areas. While creating the 2008 edition, the technical

40、 committee concurrently revised NFPA 1144 to provide complementary documents for re protection in suburban and rural development, including special considerations for wildland interface areas. As a result, the requirements for community infrastructure (e.g., roads, water supplies) were moved from th

41、e 2001 edition of NFPA 1144 to this document, and additional guidance was taken from the USDA Forest Service and the National Wildland/Urban Interface Fire Program (Firewise Communities), as well as input from several committee members and outside experts.FIRE PROTECTION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR LAND DEVE

42、LOPMENT IN WILDLAND, RURAL, AND SUBURBAN AREAS 1141-2 2017 Edition In the 2012 edition, the technical committee expanded the scope to include wildland, rural, and suburban areas. In an effort to be consistent with that change, the title of the 2012 edition was changed to NFPA 1141, Standard for Fire

43、 Protection Infrastructure for Land Development in Wildland, Rural, and Suburban Areas. Substantial changes in this edition included new material with guidance on the appeals process, clarication on planning, and the addition of dead ends as a subsection of roadways. In the 2017 edition, the technic

44、al committee claried that the applicant for land use is responsible for providing documentation and maps to the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) for review. The text in the previous edition may have been ambiguous in suggesting that the AHJ was responsible, which was not the intention of the tech

45、nical committee. Various denitions have been revised to offer greater consistency across other, similar technical committee documents. Chapter 7, Premises Identication, has been added to the document. This chapter was implemented to assist responders in identifying residences, particularly in rural

46、areas, that are located far apart or in secluded areas. The technical committee also has claried which standard applies to certain water main and re hydrant installations based on property ownership.COMMITTEE PERSONNEL 1141-3 2017 Edition Technical Committee on Wildland and Rural Fire Protection Ric
