[All CWBSP Questions]

A kitchen in a restaurant encompasses an area of just over 700 ft2 (65 m2) with 2-hour fire rated walls. Does this meet the definition of a small room?

AYes, as the limit is 800 ft2 (74 m2).

BNo, 700 ft2 (65 m2) is too large.

CYes, as the walls are 1-hour fire rated.

DNo, small rooms are only of light hazard occupancy.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A kitchen area of over 700 ft in a restaurant typically does not meet the definition of a 'small room' in fire protection terminology, as it exceeds common size thresholds for such a classification, which often consider both the area and the specific use or hazard of the space.

Hold up, are we sure the question isn't asking about the optimal size of the chef's hat? Because that's the real burning issue here.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm gonna go with B, just because 700 ft2 sounds pretty big for a 'small' room.

D makes the most sense to me. Small rooms are for light hazard occupancy, and a restaurant kitchen is not that.

I'm going with C. As long as the walls are fire rated, the size doesn't matter, right? Wait, did I read that wrong?

B is the correct answer. 700 ft2 is too large to be considered a small room, even with 2-hour fire rated walls.

I think the answer is A. The limit for a small room is 800 ft2, and this kitchen is just over 700 ft2, so it meets the definition.
