Why would "access" to a "small entry vestibule" be "close to impossible?" Seems that an "entry vestibule" would be the one thing most accessible. Question aside, if there is access then the space space is not concealed, and even if non-combustible, requires sprinklering. I just had an ME argue that if you put "Authorized Personnel Only" signs on locked doors then the space behind that door was concealed. He got an Honorable Mention for stupid but creative try. Tis was in a jurisdiction where I'm told that the Building Official holds the Fire Marshal in high regard because of the latter's "creativity" in finding ways to avoid sprinklers by "clever" interpretations of the code.
