Ceiling-only protection, as the term implies, means there are no automatic fire sprinklers in the storage racks and fire protection is provided solely by automatic fire sprinklers installed at the ceiling. Ceiling-only protection schemes using ESFR automatic fire sprinklers now exist for ceiling heights up to 55 feet (16,8m) and 50 feet (15,2m) of storage with commodities as hazardous as cartoned non-expanded plastic.
