What is the maximum quantity that can be stored outside of a Flammable Cabinet or Storage Room for category 2/3/4 liquids?

• A. 120 gals category 2/3/4
• B. 25 gals category 1
• C. 660 gals 2/3/4 in single portable tank
• D. 300 gals category 2/3/4

Answer: (A)

There are strict limits on how much flammable liquid can be stored outside of a cabinet or storage room to minimize fire risk in everyday areas. For Category 2/3/4 liquids, the maximum you can have outside of an approved cabinet or storage room in a single fire area is 120 gallons. This quantity is set to keep the fuel load manageable for fire protection systems and emergency responders.

If you need to store more than 120 gallons, you must place the materials in an approved flammable storage cabinet or in a dedicated flammable storage room that meets the relevant standards. The other options exceed this limit or relate to different categories, so they aren’t correct for this specific rule.
