Engineering firms challenged to create fire protection design concepts for “high challenge” warehouse
How would you change your approach to the design of a warehouse fire protection system if final extinguishment will not be provided by the fire department? That’s the question that was posed to leading fire protection engineering companies at the Fire Protection Research Foundation's “High Challenge Warehouse Workshop” in Orlando in February 2010.
