Before you print a Savannah fire set
- Three of everything for paper filings. Set the quantity to 3 for sprinkler, alarm, gas detection or area-of-refuge drawings. Product data and hydraulic calcs go in their own packages, which you assemble yourself.
- Preserve the stated scale. Print at the original PDF sheet size, without fitting to a different page. See the PDF page size checker guide for checking dimensions.
- Print the stamped version. The job-site set is the approved, stamped one. Print from the file the Fire Marshal’s Office returns, not your original upload.
- Color helps on riser and piping sheets. If the designer used color for zones or pipe sizes, print those sheets in color at $3.75. See fire sprinkler and alarm plan printing.
The Savannah Fire Marshal’s Office and your licensed designer decide what goes in the approved set. We print the PDF you upload and don’t file anything for you, so confirm requirements with the Fire Marshal’s Office.
Savannah work we print for
