2012 IRC: R501.3 I-joist floor protection

The same with solid lumber if the engineered trusses were protected, questions from the response when they arrive; how long has it been exposed to what intensity from the fire? Has the fire penetrated the space through openings made or source from inside; etc.?

The answer I received from the fire officials that have known about this for years were focus on two areas that save lives:

1. Fire prevention

2. Training and Equipment
