I have an existing marine/container terminal. Trucks 60 feet in length operate loading/unloading in a 3 story open platform (aprox. 210 feet by 65 feet). There is only one exterior exit stairway used to access each floor and as a means of egress. My interpretation would be:1. Based on NFPA 2009 Section 7.2.2.6.3 I would either: a. provide a secondary stair, then no protection needed b. provide a supervised automaitic sprinkler system, then no protection needed c. provide 1hr protection, 10 feet from open stair2. Based on NFPA 2009 - Sections 42.8.1.3 and 42.8.2.2.3: a. interpret the open structure as an open parking structure (except there is no parking, only truck maneuvering), therefore can leave it unprotectedThank you for any information you can provide.View attachment 764
