NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Department of Financial Services, Division of State Fire Marshal has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Anthony Roseberry, Chief, Darden Restaurants, Inc., Intervener, Case #103061-09-FM on March 03, 2009. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
The subject of the Petition is fire suppression system requirements for Intervener’s Gas Radiant Char Broilers in its three Red Lobster restaurants located in the City of Jacksonville, Florida. The Petitioner wants to know whether the broilers must meet the requirements for solid fueled fire suppression systems because wood chips are added to the gas fired broilers for flavor enhancement. The answer is no. The subject CSA certified Gas Radiant Char Broilers are gas fueled; therefore, the suppression system need not be UL listed for solid fuels, nor meet the requirements of solid fueled fire suppression systems.
A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Lesley Mendelson, Assistant General Counsel, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0340, or by e-mailing your request to Lesley.Mendelson@myfloridacfo.com.
