Dear Glen:
On March 16, 2017 the Fire Distric t conduc ted a site visit at Cedar Ridge Ranch on County Road 103. I would offer t he following c omment s .
Ac c es s
The ac c es s t o the ranc h is adequate for fire apparatus . The exis ting driveway has good line of s it e. There is adequate width and/or pullout s that allow vehicles to
pas s. The turnarounds are adequat e by the large barn and in t he area of the yurt.
Water Supplies for Fire Protec tion
There is no y eararound s ourc e of water for fire protection however there are ex is t ing ranch ponds. The Park Ditc h runs along the east ern edge of the property.
During 2012 whic h was a very dry water y ear, the Park Ditch c ontinued to run throughout the irrigating s eas on.
Large Barn
A portion of the barn has been c onverted to “c reative s paces”. New elect rical wiring has recently been ins talled in t his area and it generally appeared t o be
adequate. Egres s and travel dis tanc es from this area appeared t o be adequate as well.
Yurt and Canvas Tent
The y urt fabric material is labeled and meets the flame retardant standard of NFPA 701. A label for the canvas tent was not visible. It’s not clear whether the wall
tent fabric meets the NFPA 701 s tandard or not. The y urt was equipped with a carbon monoxide detec tor. Bot h s truc tures s hould be equipped with smoke and
c arbon monoxide alarms when they are in use.
