Is the travel distance requirement for fire extinguishers in NFPA 10 measured like means of egress travel distance, or "as the crow flies"?
I've seen plans recently that just have a 75-foot radius around an extinguisher proving coverage and wasn't sure if that's the proper way to measure travel distance for extinguishers. Posted anonymously for discussion. Discuss This | Submit Your Question | Subscribe

Here's the definition from NFPA 10 for travel distance "The actual walking distance from any point to the nearest fire extinguisher fulfilling hazard requirements."

The travel distance requirement for fire extinguishers in NFPA 10 are measured along a natural path of travel to the extinguisher. The path an individual would take when responding to a fire event would not typically be "as the crow flies".

Look at NFPA 101-15' Section 7.6 - This clearly defines how to measure travel distance (just like the above replies) including path of travel, radius around corners, termination points...
