Suggested Answer: B

A dairy processing plant with empty plastic crates up to 5 ft high would typically be classified as Ordinary Group 1. The crates present a moderate fire load, but not as high as would warrant an Ordinary Group 2 or Extra Hazard classification.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be classified as Ordinary Group 1 because it's a processing plant.

Definitely Light. It's just empty crates, no big deal. Unless they're planning on storing some udders up there too.

I agree with Gearldine, because the height of the plastic crates is within the limit for Light occupancy.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe Extra Hazard, just to be safe. You can never be too careful with dairy plants!

I think it's Ordinary Group 2. Plastic crates don't seem that hazardous, right?
