In 2007 and early 2008 CALSEIA worked with the California State Fire Marshal to develop an installation guideline to design and install PV systems so that fire crews have access on the roof to get to a roof ridge and space at the ridge to ventilate the building in the event this is necessary to perform a rescue. The draft guideline can be downloaded here. When the final guideline is available we will post it.
