NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Department of Financial Services, Division of State Fire Marshal has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Miguel Aleman, Fire Marshal, Hallandale Beach Fire Rescue, on November 20, 2012. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 38, No. 84, of the Florida Administrative Register on December 5, 2012. The Petition asked for an interpretation of Section 18.2.3.5.3, Florida Fire Prevention Code (2009), in order to determine whether fire lane signs placed on existing structural building columns in lieu of freestanding signs as specified in Section 18.2.3.5.3 are in compliance if the columns adhere to all other size, distance, height, and direction of traffic flow criteria set forth in the code section. After a review of the code section and pictures of the buildings, the Division of State Fire Marshal of the Department of Financial Services has determined that placing the required signs on the columns complies with the code provision because the columns meet the definition of “freestanding”.
A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: R. Terry Butler, Assistant General Counsel, Department of Financial Services, Room 612A, Larson Building, 200 E. Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0333.
