[INSERT LOCATION OF FACILITY]
Locate combustible structures or structures that have combustible roof assemblies a minimum of 25 ft from
the exposed building. The 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 25 ft of the
temporary structure; or to 10 ft when the exposed wall has a two-hour fire resistive rating and all openings
within 25 ft of the temporary structure are protected with one-hour protection; or to 15 ft when all openings
in the two-hour fire resistive rated exposed wall are protected with wire glass assemblies.
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 10 ft or
more from any unprotected openings. Such shelters located next to buildings without automatic sprinkler
protection shall be located 20 ft or more from any unprotected openings.
Shelters or pavilions that are of masonry construction shall not be located within 10 ft of any building
opening.
Connecting corridors to buildings shall be of non-combustible construction.
Insulation, including foam plastic: Comply with IBC.
Roof coverings shall be approved or listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory for compliance
with UL standard 790 and be Class B minimum. Roof deck assemblies shall be FM Class I approved, or
UL listed as Fire-Classified.
