Storage is commodity specific. Depending on the commodity you might be directed to use OH2 or EH1. Depending on what's being stored NFPA 13 might not even be the applicable Standard. Storage requires some research and a lot of questions.

(I know not all storage is necessarily OH) Are we creating a new category? LH, OHI, OHII, EXI EHII and Storage? Not that I think that's a bad idea.
