- Abstract
- The history and development of rack storage fire protection is reviewed and the present state of the art is surveyed. The constraints imposed on fire protection by the construction and operational requirements of high rack storage systems are stated, and two methods of intergrating fire protection into rack storage systems are described. Economic considerations are briefly discussed.
