COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT
FIRE CODE STANDARD NO. 10.207 (A)
SUBJECT: STANDARDS FOR PRIVATE ACCESS ROADS
AND DRIVEWAYS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS
(no public right-of-way)
APPLICATION: BUILDING SITES NOT SERVED BY IMPROVED
PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAYS
In order to develop or maintain an adequate level of fire
protection for buildings constructed within the
jurisdictional area of the County of Los Angeles Fire
Department, access roads must be provided which will support
Fire Department apparatus.
Roads which are public in nature and constructed to Road
Department standards provide acceptable vehicular access.
Private access roads including driveways, bridges, and
culverts, may not be subject to standards which would insure
access for Fire Department apparatus.
Therefore, the Fire Department has developed the following
access standards which are consistent with Section 10.207 of
the Fire Code (Title 32).
Section 10.207 of the Fire Code states in part: (a) General.
Every building hereafter constructed shall be accessible to
fire department apparatus by way of access roadways with an
all-weather driving surface of not less than 20 feet of
unobstructed width clear to the sky. The roadway shall be
extended to within 150 feet of all portions of the exterior
walls when measured by an unobstructed route around the
exterior of the building. Provisions for turnoff and
turnaround for fire department apparatus may be required
where an access road exceeds 150 feet in length. Vehicular
or pedestrian gates obstructing required access to the
building shall be of an approved width and shall be provided
only with locking devices and/or override mechanisms which
have been approved by the Chief.
In order to accomplish the above code requirements, the
roadway shall include the following features.
1. Surface
a. Private access roadways having a grade of 10% or
greater shall have a paved surface. The paving
will be consistent with the Los Angeles County
Road Department's typical inverted shoulder
street section as shown in Figure 1.
Alternative structural sections will be
acceptable when accompanied by appropriate
engineering calculations. The roadway should be
3/91
•
Private All -Weather Access Standards
for Single -Family Dwellings
Page 3
3.. Length
All private access roads shall be extended to within
150 feet of all portions of the exterior walls of
the first story of any building exclusive of
accessory buildings under 1,000 square feet. This
measurement shall be taken along the path of access
(Section 10.207 Fire Code).
4. Grades
On paved private access roads the maximum allowable
grade shall not exceed 15% except where the
topography makes it impracticable to keep within
such grade and then an absolute maximum of 20% will
be allowed for up to 150 feet in distance. The
average maximum allowed grade including topography
difficulties shall be no more than 17%. Grade
breaks shall not exceed 10% in 10 feet.
Exception: Grades may be increased where on -site
fire protection systems approved by the
Fire Chief are provided.
5. Curve Radius
Curve radii shall not be less than 32 feet. This
measurement will be determined at the centerline of
the road.
6. Drainage Control
Road drainage shall be evaluated by an engineering
analysis of the site to determine that the proposed
roadway is reasonably free of either sheet flow or
concentrated channel flow to the extent that damage
will not take place such as to impair its usability
and capacity to support heavyfire fighting trucks
and equipment. Any dip crossing, culvert, or bridge
constructed shall be designed to accommodate the
widths and grades listed above, be capable of
supporting heavy fire department equipment, and be
designed to withstand capital flood flows.
