About this file
This document is a Structural Fire Deficiency Log for the National Park Service, detailing fire protection system issues across multiple buildings in the BEPA (Bering Land Bridge National Preserve) park in Alaska. The log records 12 specific deficiencies identified in 2023 across different locations including a Maintenance Auto Shop, Duplex buildings, Tok Bunk House, and Bear Park Visitor Center. Deficiencies span multiple systems such as sprinkler systems (SP), fire pumps (FP), backflow preventers (BP), and fire alarms (FA), with recommended repairs ranging from replacing gauges and test cocks to addressing fire pump water leakage and low alarm bell signage. Total estimated repair costs for these deficiencies amount to approximately $25,450, with the most expensive repair being an $18,000 fire pump repair at the Bear Park Visitor Center. The log includes detailed technical observations, references to NFPA standards, and recommendations for specialized technical intervention.
