The Fire District, in
cooperation with the Villages of Elburn, Lily Lake, and Virgil and the
communities of Wasco, LaFox and Mill Creek and the Kane County
Development Department, reviews plans for construction in commercial
occupancies. This includes new construction, remodeling, renovations,
and additions.
A non-structural review
is performed on basic building plans to assess the type of
construction, means of egress and to help determine the appropriate
use group. At the time of plan review, information pertaining to the
type of operation, what will be stored, how it will be stored, how
much of a product will be stored, and hazard information on those
products will be requested. This is necessary not only to determine if
the structure is adequate for the proposed operation but will also
help determine the appropriate type of fire suppression and fire alarm
system that must be installed to protect the building.
Reviews of the fire wall
construction, fire alarm, kitchen hood, and fire suppression systems
plans are conducted to make sure these systems meet various codes as
they pertain to appropriate equipment being installed and that the
systems is properly designed and installed to provide the acceptable
level of protection to buildings and their occupants.
If you have any questions
regarding the plan review process or what codes apply, please contact
