Have seen guards being installed in most gyms, though I'm not sure of their practical advantage.
I designed a sprinkler system for a school where a fire started in the attic space above the gym and destroyed the entire school. The water supply was storage tanks and fire pump. At the corner where the fire started, was a standard school stage (platform). NFPA investigated the fire and one of their findings was that the gym should have been designed for OH2 due to the "stage".

I can visualize kids shooting basketballs at them. -- Ed Vining 4819 John Muir Rd Martinez CA 94553 925-228-879 _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
