Agreed. Do not equate boat storage with this occupancy; the foam sandwich construction of most small boat hulls has exponentially more potential energy than the ATVs, even with the fuel. Boat storage fires are … spectacular and devastating. The car-stacker analogy works for me: EH2.

From what I understand they have a tendency to catch sprinkler water and then crush storage structures.

Each ATV will have 3-6 gallons of gas. Any thoughts on a commodity classification?
