What are the Fire Protection rules for a Storage Room over 1,000 sf? I remember from a previous project that any storage room over 200 sf had to have 1 hr rated walls and rated door. But I can't find the IBC code references. Also I'm assuming it will need two doors at that size.

Where can I find the IBC section covering this?
