Attachment 2, Page II-3, Section 3.c(2)(e) says, "For property protection, fire areas must be established such that the MPFL for each fire area does not exceed $350 million. Fire area walls or other separation approaches may be used to meet this requirement." The term "Fire area walls" is misleading or ambivalent. Some construe it to mean "Fire Walls" and others believe it means "Fire Barriers" because walls are the most common fire area barriers. The meaning can result in significant differences in design and significant variation in costs. I would recommend replacing "Fire area walls" with "Fire Barriers" or "Fire Walls", whichever is intended.
