I don't see a single mention of the word fireworks in NFPA 13 and NFPA 1124 the Code for the Manufacture, Transportation, Storage, and Retail Sales of Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles leaves me with the impression that it is impossible to protect a building with a water-based fire protection system that stores this type of product. We plan to involve an architect as well as the AHJ before moving forward. Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation? Thanks.
