The catwalk is no different than any other obstruction within the area, right? For any other obstruction you would use the same ESFR's below the obstruction as you used at the ceiling/roof.

Do you continue installing ESFR sprinklers under each level or can you install control mode sprinkler under the catwalks while the ESFR's at the ceiling protect the commodity?? I did look up the archives and a few people have asked similar questions over the years, but I don't see an answer... NFPA 13, 2007 ed. Thank you in advance!
