Learn about fire sprinkler protection for storage in this important module in the updated 2013 NFPA 13 Online Course Series. Course 6 in the NFPA 13 Online Course Series — Fire Sprinkler Protection for Storage — provides you with a greater understanding of the factors concerning storage protection, such as what is being stored, how it is stored, how high it is stored, and the building height and clearance. These factors enable you to analyze the various protection options and then make the best choice for each individual situation. The training also covers determining the proper storage commodity classification along with the storage arrangement, which allows the designer to choose the appropriate chapter in the Standard for deciding upon appropriate and acceptable protection criteria.
