Does NFPA address other fire hazards that don fall into the occupancy hazard or commodity classifications?
A. NFPA 13 specifically addresses four other storage commodities that make up their own commodity classification. These are rubber tires, baled cotton, rolled paper, and idle pallets. Certain storage and non-storage operations could also be classified as special hazards (Section 7-10), for example, fire hazards in laboratories using chemicals, and fire hazards associated with storing organic peroxide formulations.
