In my order of importance. 1- Complete and accurate HMIS (Hazardous Material Inventory Summary - all commodities properly classified and their quantities) as required by the IFC, so you know what you are getting into. (Just because I wrote hazardous doesn't mean chemicals, it means everything stored in an area considered high piled storage by the IFC.) 2- Storage height 3- Storage arrangement (rack, solid pile, rack and pile height, encapsulated or not, shelves or not, and so on) 4- Is it sprinklered or not? 5- aisle width 6- smoke/heat vents and are they automatic or manual

Think in terms of fire department response rather than sprinkler systems design. Again, I'm looking for what you feel is the top four (4) pieces of information regarding high pile storage that would be key or beneficial to FD response. Getting thoughts and ideas from the sprinkler side of the table will prove very insightful. Thank you!
