Introduction to ESFR Systems

What You’ll Learn:

That ESFR (Early Suppression Fast Response) systems use a single comprehensive table
The table covers all storage types in one place:
- Solid piled storage
- Single row rack storage
- Double row rack storage
- Multi-row rack storage
That storage height requirements are the same across all storage configurations for ESFR systems
That ESFR tables don’t directly give storage heights—you must identify them through analysis
The simplified nature of ESFR verification compared to CMDA systems
Example: If ESFR table shows 25 feet is acceptable, it applies to both piled stock and all rack configurations
