Structure Fire 2
Structure Fire 2 : Types: Structures are divided into five construction types for the purposes of firefighting, and are listed from least combustible to most combustible: Type I: Fire Resistive: Typically used in high-rises. The material comprising the structure is either inherently able to withstand significant exposure to fire (concrete), or in which a fire resistive covering is applied to steel structural members. Type II: Non-combustible: Typically used in strip shopping center malls. Roofs are constructed out of steel rafters. Type III: Ordinary construction: Brick and mortar walls, wood frame floors. City rowhouses are where this type of construction is most often found. Type IV: Heavytimber: Often used in churches or other community-based buildings. Type V: Wood frame: Typically used in recent construction of single-family dwellings, townhouses, garden apartments with four floors or less
