Start from the care health facility model (free sign-up). A care health facility for older people (介護老人保健施設) is item (6)ロ(1) of Annexed Table 1 of Japan’s Fire Service Act Enforcement Order. In this article your AI takes the members’ ward floor of five rooms of four as a single-storey building of its own and checks its fire equipment. It ran the same tools an AI calls over MCP. Every figure and number below comes from that run.

1. The ward floor and where the extinguishers go

Plan of the care health facility’s ward floor and the walk to an extinguisher
Five rooms of four north of the middle corridor, the dining and lounge, the training room, the staff station, the bath and others south of it; two extinguishers along the corridor, 14.41 m from the far corner of room 3
  • The total floor is 32.2 × 14.1 m = 454.02 m² to the outer walls’ centrelines.
  • check_space finds nothing, with the extinguishers in place as well.

2. The fire equipment needed

EquipmentNeeded
SprinklersNeeded (whatever the floor, but for a structure that holds a fire back)
Automatic fire alarmNeeded (whatever the floor)
Fire alarm that calls the fire serviceNeeded (a telephone will not do)
ExtinguishersNeeded (whatever the floor)
Indoor hydrantsNot needed (under 700 m² in all)
Exit lightsNeeded (every floor)
  • The automatic fire alarm (Enforcement Order Article 21(1)(i)(a)), the extinguishers (Article 10(1)(i)(a)), the indoor hydrants (Article 11(1)) and the exit lights (Article 26(1)) come from check_space.
  • The tools have no check for the sprinklers (Article 12(1)(i)(b)) or the fire alarm that calls the fire service (Article 23(1)(i) and (3)), so your AI read the order itself.
  • Item (6)ロ needs a fire prevention manager from 10 occupants (Enforcement Order Article 1-2(3)(i)(a)). The occupants are the staff and those staying together (Enforcement Regulation Article 1-3): the 20 beds alone come to more than 10.

3. The automatic fire alarm’s detectors

With fireAlarm, your AI counts the smoke detectors room by room (a ceiling of 2.7 m).

RoomsSizeDetectors
Rooms of four (5)31.2 to 33.28 m²5
Other rooms (5)10.44 to 46.4 m²5
Corridor32 m long2
In all12
  • A room under a ceiling below 4 m takes one for each 150 m² (Enforcement Regulation Article 23(4)(vii)(e)); a corridor one for each 30 m of walk (Article 23(4)(vii)(f)). The bath, the washroom and the toilets are not counted.

4. How many extinguishers, and where

Units neededUnits placedFrom the farthest pointWithin 20 m
Before4.540――
Two along the corridor4.54614.41 mYes
  • The units needed are the total floor over 100 m², 4.54 (Enforcement Regulation Article 6). Your AI puts two extinguishers of three units each (an assumption) on the corridor’s north side between the rooms’ doors, clear of the corridor’s hand basins (edit_space).
  • The farthest point is the north-east corner of room 3, 14.41 m away (within the 20 m of Article 6(6)(i)).

5. Exit lights

With exitSigns, your AI checks room by room whether any may be left out (Enforcement Regulation Article 28-2).

RoomSees the entranceFrom the farthest point to the entrance
Room 1No9.16 m
Room 3No22.13 m
Room 5No34.81 m
Dining and loungeNo10.99 m
Staff stationNo19.81 m
  • No room sees the entrance, so neither the exit lights nor the passage lights may be left out.

6. Using the check

  • Draw your facility (from a PDF drawing or photos as well), and tell your AI the total floor, the storeys and those staying.
  • Not checked: floors above the ground floor and the building as a whole, whether the structure holds a fire back, the detectors of the bath, the toilets and the stairs, flame-retardant curtains and the like, and notices to the fire department.
