What is the maximum allowable travel distance between fire extinguishers for Class A fire hazards in an extra high hazard occupancy?

In extra high hazard occupancies, the maximum allowable travel distance between fire extinguishers for Class A fire hazards is 75 feet. This requirement is established to ensure that individuals can quickly and easily access fire suppression equipment in the event of a fire, minimizing the risk of injury and property damage.

The rationale for this distance is based on the increased potential for rapid fire spread in extra high hazard situations, where combustible materials are present in larger quantities or more likely to ignite. By limiting the travel distance to 75 feet, it encourages prompt action and increases the chances of effectively controlling a fire before it escalates.

The other distances may be suitable for different classes of hazards or occupancies, but for extra high hazard settings specifically dealing with Class A fire risks, 75 feet is the standard to ensure adequate preparedness and safety.
