Having worked in these many years ago, I would find it a stretch to go to garage, or machine..
There is 1000gpm of water present in the hazards.. R/ Matt Matthew J. Willis, C.E.T.

The apparatus bays of a fire station have been designated on the plan as ordinary hazard, group 1. When I look at the examples in §A.4.3.3.2, it seems to me that those spaces would be similar to (2) "automobile parking garages", or (14) "machine shops", or (24) "repair garages." This would make the space similar to ordinary hazard group 2, which increases the required density from 0.15 gpm/ft² to 0.20 gpm/ft². Am I looking this incorrectly? Any help greatly appreciated. sincerely, -- Ken Wagoner, SET Parsley Consulting 3002 Younger Drive Harrisonville, Missouri 64701-3909 Phone: (760) 745-6181 Visit the website<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2fwww.parsleyconsulting.com%2f&c=E,1,Y5zKJKPEh1mBEBqSR-VE9cUKl5y-eyP8BpvmE_5j9ZqW2eJbNphYzrCMBZ-2YuX6d-RRkHI4gQ1FV-cvOeCfRC58uZS9NiToZv2mx7909oCqLvCW_n5hDHeK&typo=1>
