An update as I've additional information. The cooler is 30' long 4' wide and 7' high. It has glass doors and open metal shelves. So you grab the beer closest to you and the next one slides forward. When stocked full, there is hardly any empty space inside. You might see similar ones in stores that sell liqour. Does it have to be sprinklered?

I saw one after it burned. It was like a crushed can.

I think this is a grey area in NFPA. We provide heads in walk-in freezers and coolers. But what are the chances for a fire inside these? Haven't heard of any, but I suppose there could be an electrical fault that could start a fire.

Never saw sprinklers in these. Argument is it's large appliance. Chris Cahill, P.E.

The cooler I am looking at is a beer cooler approx. 30 feet long, 10 feet deep and 7 feet high. It is full with shelves, and no one could "walk-in". Would it have to be sprinklered? Anyone has come across a similar situation or have any opinions?
