Certified Fire Protection Specialist (CFPS) — Question 37

A loss control consultant at XYZ Insurance Company must conduct an onsite risk assessment at an insured storage facility. In one portion of the facility, there is bulk storage of aerosols. What NFPA standard must the consultant reference for fire protection requirements?

Answer options

• A. NFPA 13
• B. NFPA 30
• C. NFPA 30B
• D. NFPA 72

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is NFPA 30, which specifically addresses the storage of flammable and combustible liquids including aerosols. NFPA 13 pertains to sprinkler systems, NFPA 30B covers the storage of flammable liquids in portable containers, and NFPA 72 relates to fire alarm systems, making them irrelevant to the bulk storage of aerosols.
