He is correct. Coal dust is non-combustible. Wait for it................
WHEN STORED ON THE MOON! Hardly is it a non-combustible and hardly is the operation a low hazard occupancy. Wonder what other goodies he's got around there being a fertilizer plant. Craig L.

The issue is whether the building has to be sprinklered. The owner claims the coal is non-combustible and thus the building occupancy is low hazard industrial, in which case it would not have to be sprinklered. Anyone can comment on the occupancy?
