Chris,
Hangar fires, just by head:
- 30 June 1968 Hangar 10 at Amsterdam Airport
- 5 May 2006 Sabena Technics "hangar 40" at Brussels Airport.
With some googling you might even find more.
Or are we just living in a dangerous neighbourhood?
Met vriendelijke groet / Yours sincerely,

The question surrounds why do the Code protect hangars so much
differently than about everything else. Certainly a plane owner or
insurance company might want to but where is the threat to the
public or occupants that is so much greater which is where the codes
should IMHO focus on. I'd also throw in the lack of known fires in
hangars. The Air Force recently looked and couldn't find a single
fire in the last 50 years as it was related to me.

I believe it's still required at military installations per the UFC
where what's being protected and fed by the pump has been determined
to be mission critical.

Can anyone definitively say where redundant fire pumps are required
besides hangars per 409? I'm thinking maybe hospitals and
high-rises or just super high-rises? I don't do enough of those to
be sure. I'm asking required by Code not debating whether they are
just a good idea in some occupancies.
