Hay makes me a little nervous. I'm not sure it would burn like a standard
class
III. You could have the potential for a deep seated fire that sprinklers
might
not be able to easily contain. To fully extinguish a fire, you would
probably
have to remove the burning (or more likely smoldering) bales from the
building,
break them apart and wet them down. In that way, it may behave more like a
commodity such as piled wood chips. Anybody with first-hand hay fire
experience
out there?

Seems like 15' storage of solid piled class III commodity to me. Of course,
FM
jobs would need a ceiling height as well.
