B. Locate combustible structures or structures that have combustible roof assemblies a minimum
of 7.5 m (25 ft) from the exposed building. The 7.5 m (25 ft) separation may be reduced to 0
when the exposed (permanent) building has at least a two-hour fire resistive rating and has no
openings (windows, doors, or roof) within 7.5 m (25 ft) of the temporary structure; to 3 m (10
ft) when the exposed wall has a two-hour fire resistive rating and all openings within 7.5 m
(25 ft) of the temporary structure are protected with one-hour protection; and to 4.5 m (15 ft)
when all openings in the two-hour fire resistive rated exposed wall are protected with wire
glass assemblies.
C. Because it is difficult to ignite polycarbonate and aluminum (bus stop type) shelters and they
are likely to collapse shortly after becoming fully involved in a fire, they are given special
consideration. Polycarbonate and aluminum shelters located next to buildings with automatic
sprinkler protection shall be located 3 m (10 ft) or more from any unprotected openings. Such
shelters located next to buildings without automatic sprinkler protection shall be located
6 m (20 ft) or more from any unprotected openings.
D. Shelters or pavilions that are of masonry construction shall not be located within 3 m (10 ft) of
any building opening.
E. Connecting corridors to buildings shall be of non-combustible construction.
