James, I found there to be more issues with the storage of a Class II FCL then the storage of the wooden barrels. At best it might be a Class III FCL (depends on the proof). Dike sizes (containment) were a real problem on the proposed rack house here and ended up killing the project. I was requiring sprinkler demand for Class II FCL stored x-feet high on some type of rack. Never really got far enough for a density number.

We had suggested the Distilled Spirits standard and the AHJ does not want to accept it as a reference for the fire protection. We have had a look in both NFPA #30 and FM data sheets and can find nothing for the wooden barrels or the storage height. Looking for other suggestions.
