In this joint discussion, the article, “Conditions Precedent to Service,” by John L. McBride of East Bay Municipal Utility District in Oakland, California, provides a list of conditions that a utility should consider establishing before service begins, which limit its liabilities without discouraging the use of private fire services. The article, “Engineering Considerations,” by Gayle R. Holman of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, discusses engineering considerations for private fire service that include: hydraulic factors; economic factors; sanitary factors; and, construction factors. The article, “Legal Considerations,” by William G. Fleckles of the San Francisco law firm Bacigalupi, Elkus & Salinger, discusses the terms and conditions under which private fire protection service is being offered. Finally, the article, “Installation and Standby Charges,” by Richard A. Smith of Fallbrook Public Utility District in Fallbrook, California, discusses a realistic pricing policy for the installation and operation of private fire systems.
