Re : Lakeview Health Care
Dear Sir:
I have conferred with Chief Couts concerning lack of a fire
hydrant near this property . In surveying the property and
the available fire protection , we found the water service
leading to the building coming from the south , with no
available fire hydrant on that water main .
The nearest fire hydrant is at the intersection of Brentwood
Lane and 136th Street . The distance from this fire hydrant
to the Lakeview Health Care drive is 800 feet and the distance
from this point to the sprinkler system hookup is an add-
itional 463 feet , for a total hose lay of 1 , 263 feet .
In case of a fire at Lakeview Health Care our department
would be required to lay fire hose a total of 1 , 263 feet .
In order to pump sufficient water this distance we would need
to position an engine at the fire hydrant and place additional
engines every 500 feet . This would involve laying 1 , 300 feet
of fire hose and placement of three engines to pump and relay
water to the sprinkler system .

We feel this severly hampers our ability to quickly control
and extinguish a fire in this facility with very limited
access to the building.
Respectfully ,
Stanley Puckett
