Melissa,
As permitted in CBC 104.11, the purpose of this letter is to request the use of an alternative material, design and method of
construction for the two-story corridor openings on the project.
ub'ect:
Per 712.1.9, two-story openings are permitted under certain conditions. The project has an R-2 corridor with a storefront lobby
area. The preferred design is to create a two-story volume space at the third to fourth level along the corridor to allow more
natural light and view to the exterior.
Discussion:
A fire rated curtain is proposed in order to provide the required rating and close the opening between the two-story areas.
• Section 708.6 states that openings in a fire partition are to be protected in accordance with 716.
• Per Table 716.1(2) the opening protection would be required to be 20 minutes with a D-20 label or 20 minute rated.
o A fire curtain will provide the rating with the required label.
• Table 716.1(1) requires that this label complies with NFPA 252 or UL 10B or UL 10C.
o The CiHRS fire curtain is compliant with UL 10B and IOC.
o The C1HRS fire curtain is listed with Cal Fire under listing number 4077-2312:0501.
• The area where the fire curtain occurs will normally be open.
o The fire curtain has an automatic closing feature.
o The fire curtain will close upon fire alarm and or fire sprinkler activation.
Conclusion:
In our opinion, the use of a fire curtain such as the DSI-ClHR (C1HRS) or equal meets and exceeds the opening protection
requirements for the two-story opening.
Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to contact AO with any further questions.

Smoke and Fire Curtain
The DSI Smoke and Fire Curtain Model DSI-CIHRSS single
barrel configuration for widths under 16 feet and Model DSI-
CIHRSM multi barrel configurations for widths over 16 feet
create a one hour opening protective smoke and fire barrier.
The assembly comprises a fire -rated fiberglass fabric wrapped
around a roller which encases a compact head box that is typically
installed above the ceiling with side guides that are buried in the
wall. This makes the system virtually invisible until activated.
The DSI-CIHR Smoke and Fire Curtain is totally Gravity Fail
Safe, resets automatically, and incorporates the latest in electronic
technology. As a result, DSI-C1HR Curtain is one of the most
advanced, yet cost effective systems on the market.
