The Los Angeles County Fire Code, Title 32, Section 903.5 and Section 903.6
provide for auxiliary water sources for fire-fighting operations in Fire
Zones 4 (unincorporated) and the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone
(incorporated cities). This code specifies that identifying placarding
(signs) be placed at properties with swimming pools or spas, 5000 gallon
capacity or greater, to provide fire-fighting personnel with additional water
in emergency situations. This program is especially valuable during
extreme hot, dry conditions and/or fire seasons in areas where standard fire
hydrants are sparse. IDM is proud to help in the Los Angeles County
Fire Department's efforts to help save lives and property.
