RESUBMITTING:
Please make necessary changes and resubmit the complete permit application package.
To help speed the review process you should include a written comment response summary to clarify or illustrate corrections on plans (bubbling, highlighting or notations are best). Please use the Florida Fire Prevention Code 6th Ed for all code reference in a response to comments. The fire plans examiner does not use the Florida Building Code. You are required to remove old pages and reinsert the new pages.
The numbered items require a response or plans to be updated to complete the review. Items labled "informational only" are for the contractor.

A fire department access box is required due to fire protection in the building. The brand approved by our department is fail safe. It will need to be mounted at building entrance. Use the link below to order the box off of their website. It is imperative to fill in all the sections with the correct information to ensure your access box is keyed properly. The required box for this jurisdiction is the "LBI FAIL- SAFE- LOCK BOX WITH TAMPER SWITCH". This is usually the first box listed and is approx. $225.OO. Remember when the form references the fire “department/ issuing agency” and “authorized signature” you must indicate " St. Johns County Fire Rescue". https://www.nutechlink.com/failsafeordering/index.html
