So many questions. I wonder if the propane powered fork trucks were figured as being stored in there plus after 10 weeks of occupancy, who knows if the space was being used in the manner the sprinkler system was designed for or per the recommendations.
The other point being once again, as a sprinkler designer/installer/inspector be aware of potential hazards. Some high intensity lighting fixtures can drop hot filament and glass fragments if they break. Without a guard below it, that would be the wrong type fixture over combustible products. Plus no fire marshal/AHJ had any responsibility for granting the C.O.? I would hate to have to explain the technical issues of the fire protection trade to the average American juror. Craig L.
