What is the state of the canola, oil or meal? Get an MSDS on the material then it's a matter of the occupancy classification and construction type based on the building code that will determine what is required. You also need to know how much of the material is in the building and stored if in fact it turns out to be anything significant.
Canola oil has a very high flash point, over 500 deg (F), with some warning against water as an extinguishing agent. But you need to know exactly what you're dealing with. Craig L.

Any ideas on the hazard classification? NFPA 36 is for solvent based extraction. I say that the delivery and load out areas should also be protected. as well as the cooling tower and storage tanks. They say let it burn. Thank you Robert Thompson DAKOTA FIRE PROTECTION 1710 N.
