707 Fire barriers
I am constructing a 3 hour rated fire barrier to create separate fire areas (S-1 being the most restrictive) at a high - low roof condition. The S-1 roof is high and the adjacent S-2 / B roof is low.
Does the fire barrier stop at the underside of the low roof sheathing / deck or the underside of the high roof sheathing / deck?
707.5 Continuity
Fire barriers shall extend from the top of the foundation or floor/ceiling assembly below to the underside of the floor or roof sheathing, slab or deck above and shall be securely attached thereto. Such fire barriers shall be continuous through concealed space, such as the space above a suspended ceiling. Joints and voids at intersections shall comply with Sections 707.8 and 707.9
Exceptions
1. (omitted)
2. (omitted)
Thank you.
