Andy,

Be careful with this one. It seems to me that the storage as described would constitute Uncartoned (Exposed) Expanded Group A Plastics (NOT Class IV), which have VERY limited applicability for ESFR.

Subject: Mattress stroage


I am working on a bid for a warehouse. I was given a floor plan for the new
building and a copy of the fire plan from the same building they just
finished in another state.

The also sent photos of the existing building.



The pics show mattress in plastic bags staked on end all lined up in a row.
Just like in dramatic burn video I recently watched.

The other area of the warehouse has couches bagged the same way. Sitting on
12'3" bay racks.

The sprinkler plans for the this are list it as Class IV commodity protected
with EFSR heads and no in rack system.



Even if they put the stuff back in the boxes I can't see how they a class V
commodity

Is there some thing I am missing before I call the engineer?



Thank you for your attention.

Andy Johnston
