[All CFI-I Questions]

When may acoustical and decorative materials such as cotton, hay, paper, straw, moss, split bamboo, and wood chips be used as decorations within an assembly occupancy?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

Sprinkler System Design and Installation:

NFPA 13 (Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems) provides detailed guidance on the design, installation, and requirements for water storage tanks, including minimum water temperature to prevent freezing in cold climates.

Other Options Explained:

Option B (NFPA 25): Focuses on inspection, testing, and maintenance of systems, not design parameters.

Option C (NFPA 72): Covers fire alarm systems, not sprinkler systems.

Option D (NFPA 101): Addresses life safety issues, not sprinkler system specifics.

Summary:

Use NFPA 13 to determine the minimum required water temperature for sprinkler system storage tanks.

Moss and wood chips as decorations? Somebody's trying to turn this place into a hobbit hole. I'll go with A and save us all from a fiery Shire.

Third-party certification, huh? Sounds legit. I'll go with C and hope I don't end up in the ashes.

Flame-retardant treated materials? That's a nice safety measure, but I don't trust the AHJ to be satisfied. I'll go with B.

Wait, so we can use these materials as long as they're in small quantities? That's a bit vague. I'm going to go with C to be on the safe side.
