Fire sprinkler in a group III hangar

Question

Is it the intent of 412.4.6 to require a fixed fire suppression system in a group III hangar where NFPA 409 says one is not required?

Answer Published 04/03/2015 at 11:45 AM

Yes. The code does not say to provide the system where
required by NFPA 409. It says aircraft hangars shall be
provided with a fire suppression system designed in
accordance with NFPA 409.
