| Requires | The minimum fire flow and flow duration for one- and two-family dwellings having a fire-flow area that does not exceed 3,600 square feet shall be 1,000 gpm at 20 psi for 1 hour. For one and two-family dwellings exceeding 3,600 square feet, the required fire flow shall be as specified in PFC Appendix B, Table B105.1(1).
