Ron, exactly. It is a dumpster pushed up against the building wall. In this case two walls due to the way the wall jogs in an "L" shape. My concern is 13 requires sprinklering of roofs and canopies where combustibles are stored or handled (NFPA 13, 2002 section 8.14.7.4). Won't the intent cover this situation also? No, the location of the dumpster can't be changed.

Is it a threat? Fire in a container against a concrete wall? Under the intake air opening at the combustible dust factory? Death penalty law for burning any garbage, even by accident. Seriously, what can be damaged, what exposure threat is there to neighboring properties, how would you detect it and at what cost sans roof, any rules requiring it (I know, that's the question you're asking Tony), can you moc=ve the actual hazard a few feet away, etc.?
