Storefront Saga

摘要

In communities across the country, storefronts exist on the first floor of many types of residences. They may be a small convenience store in a two- or three-story frame building or a larger retail store in a multiple dwelling. These occupancies are not to be confused with a "taxpayer" (large one- or two-story commercial occupancy). Unfortunately for us, there usually isn't enough storage space for the stock, so it's either in an overstuffed storage room inside the store, in a mezzanine, or in a basement. Reaching the seat of the fire may be difficult in storefront fires.
