3.5.1. General
Roof storage prohibited

3.5.1.1. The roof of a building located in a salvage yard shall not be used for
storage purposes.

Article 3.5.1.1. applies to all buildings on a property where salvage work is performed, including
those used for storage, vehicle shelters, administration and sales.

The intent is to prevent storage of materials on roofs in order to decrease the likelihood that the
building will collapse in the event of fire.

Roof storage prohibited.

Building means any structure used or intended for supporting or sheltering any use or occupancy.

3.5.1. General
Fire access gates

3.5.1.4. Where storage areas are fenced or otherwise enclosed, gates having a
clear width of 3.5 m shall be provided to permit the entry of fire
department vehicles.

Making certain that all areas of salvage yards are accessible to fire department vehicles allows
firefighters to contain fires and extinguish them with maximum efficiency. Clearance for fire
department vehicles needs to be considered in the layout of access routes throughout the salvage
yard. This is in order to allow those vehicles access to all areas within the site. The intent of
Article 3.5.1.4. is to ensure that gates are wide enough to accommodate fire department vehicles.

3.5.1. General
Fire extinguishing provisions

3.5.1.5. Except where all salvage and scrap material is noncombustible and
free of combustibles, water barrels of 200 L capacity with three 12 L
pails or portable extinguishers having a 2A or higher rating
conforming to the requirements of Section 6.2 shall be provided, so
that the maximum travel distance from any part of the yard to a barrel
or extinguisher is 25 m.
3.5.1.6. Portable extinguishers in conformance with Section 6.2 shall be
provided in each building located in a salvage yard.

First aid fire fighting equipment is required in salvage yards containing combustible materials
and in buildings located in salvage yards. Article 3.5.1.5. ensures that extinguishing equipment,
i.e. water barrels or fire extinguishers, are readily available in yards containing combustible
materials. Article 3.5.1.6. is a reminder that buildings must be provided with fire extinguishers
under Section 6.2.

3.5.1. General
Hydrant systems and water supply

3.5.1.7. Except as required in Article 3.5.1.8., where a municipal hydrant


system exists and is adjacent to the yard, the hydrant system
shall be extended into the yard area so that all parts of the
salvage yard can be reached by using not more than 60 m of
hose.
3.5.1.8. Article 3.5.1.7. does not apply where the fire protection that is
provided by the municipal street hydrants and mobile pumping
equipment is approved as being adequate in the circumstances.

Salvage yards may take up a large area of land for the storage of salvaged materials. Installing
private hydrants inside the yard so that any part of the yard can be reached by 60 m or less of
hose can save valuable time in fire fighting. The intent of article 3.5.1.7. is to ensure that an
adequate water supply is available in order to maximize fire fighting efficiency.

The Chief Fire Official may decide to waive this requirement, based on his evaluation of the fire
protection provided by existing street hydrants and fire equipment owned by the municipality.

3.5.2. Piling
Pile clearance and dimensions

3.5.2.1. Piles that include combustible salvage shall be 3 m from property


lines, and not more than 3 m in height and 100 m2 in area.
3.5.2.2. Piles of salvage material shall be separated by a clear space of 3 m
that is kept clear of grass and weeds.

The intent of these Articles is to limit the amount of available fuel for fires by keeping piles of
combustible salvage separated by clear lanes and limiting the size of piles.

This:
• Allows firefighters to work between storage piles and fences

• Helps to prevent the spread of fire to neighbouring storage piles or properties

Piles of tanks or drums

3.5.2.3. Tanks or drums shall be stored in piles separate from piles of other
materials.

Salvaged tanks or drums may have contained hazardous materials, flammable liquids, oils or
greases and may contain flammable residue. The intent of this article is to keep tanks and drums
separate from other materials and decrease the likelihood of the residue posing a problem should
a fire occur.

3.5.2. Piling
Combustible metals

3.5.2.4.(1) Piles or containers with metal shavings, turnings and dusts shall be
stored in an area separate from other salvage materials and
identified with warning signs.
(2) Warning signs required in Sentence (1) shall
(a) be visible from all directions of approach, and
(b) have the name of the metal and the words "COMBUSTIBLE
METAL - DO NOT USE WATER" displayed in plain legible
letters as described in Sentence (3).
(3) Lettering on warning signs shall be red or white letters 114 mm
high with a 19 mm stroke on a contrasting background.

Certain metals (e.g. titanium, magnesium, hafnium, thorium, tungsten) are highly combustible
when in shaving, dust or powder form. Many react with water and release hydrogen, which can
spontaneously ignite. In addition, using water on some combustible metal fires can cause a
steam explosion. This results when water comes in contact with the extremely hot burning
metals. Article 3.5.2.4. is intended to ensure separate storage and proper labeling of these
materials as required in order to reduce the fire potential presented by such metals and to reduce
the spread of fires caused when these metals combust.

3.5.3. Outdoor Tire Storage Yards


Application

3.5.3.1.(1) Despite Subsection 3.5.2., this Subsection applies with respect to


the outdoor storage of tires or shredded tires where the bulk
volume of stored product exceeds 300 m3.
(2) This Subsection does not apply where the stored tires or shredded
tires are covered by a minimum depth of 150 mm of
noncombustible material.

Rubber tire storage exceeding 300 m3 in an outdoor area presents a significant fire/environmental
hazard and deserves special consideration. Subsection 3.5.3. outlines requirements for outdoor
storage of tires in excess of 300 m3. As an alternative to complying with Subsection 3.5.3., the
tires or shredded tires may be covered by a minimum of 150 mm of noncombustible material,
such as earth.

2 m high

10 m wide
15 m long

Prohibitions

3.5.3.2.(1) Open air burning is prohibited in storage yards.


(2) Cutting, welding or heating devices shall not be operated in storage
yards.
(3) Smoking is prohibited in storage yards except as provided in
Subsection 2.4.3.
(4) Storage piles shall not be located beneath electrical power lines
with a voltage in excess of 750 volts or that supply power to fire
emergency systems.

The intent of Article 3.5.3.2. is to eliminate all ignition sources such as welding and cutting from
yards where rubber tire storage exceeds 300 cubic metres. Smoking is allowed only in approved
areas where it does not present a fire hazard. Electrical power lines may be damaged in cases of
fire, cutting off emergency fire systems. For this reason storage piles must not be located
beneath power lines as described in Sentence (4).

safety plans. A fire safety plan must include: procedures for sounding the fire alarm, procedures
for notifying the fire department, provisions for fire department access and training requirements
for supervisory staff regarding their duties in the event of a fire. The requirements stated in
Sentences (2) to (4) of Article 3.5.3.3., are specific to salvage operations. They are intended to
increase effective response to fire emergencies and ensure that all employees of a salvage yard
know and understand what to do in case of fire.
