We are having a hard time finding clarification on what is required, if any, if the exterior walls of a pre-fabricated free standing elevator, in an open air, would require a fire-rating?

The Elevator will be in the open, attached to an open-air platform, not attached to a building or parking garage, or any other enclosed structured.

Three of the walls will have a stucco exterior and the remaining side will have a glass façade with aluminum store front framing for its entire height.

Is there any fire rating needed for the glass façade? The interior Hostway structure is structural steel tubing, as you can see in the below picture.

The total travel height of each elevator is 30 feet from grade, which has a total of 2 stops level.

I cant seem to attach images here, I can email the prints and specifications



Any information you can provide or guide us would be much appreciated!
