When you say "kickers", are you referring to the braces at 45° that hold up a roof feature (parapet/mansard)? Is there sheathing over these kickers and does it create a combustible concealed space above the structural roof diaphragm that's deeper than 6" clear and otherwise doesn't meet the volume exceptions? If all that is in place, you have to sprinkler these cricket spaces.

Has anyone had any experience with this ? Stephen J.
