What is the permitted amount of fuel kept in holding areas determined by?

The permitted amount of fuel kept in holding areas is determined by local regulations set by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The AHJ consists of individuals or organizations responsible for enforcing specific laws, codes, and standards related to safety in a given area. This could include local fire marshals or building inspectors who establish guidelines based on the NFPA standards, ensuring that safety measures are tailored to the specific conditions and risks of the venue and audience size.

Local regulations take into account a variety of factors, including venue type, audience capacity, and safety protocols relevant to the area, which is crucial for minimizing fire hazards and ensuring public safety when using flame effects. By basing fuel storage requirements on these regulations, authorities ensure that safety measures are consistent with the unique needs and circumstances of the specific environment where flame effects are being utilized.
