Area Classification
(OP)
I am just wondering how deos a forewall work? Can an area be made unclassified simply by putting firewall around it?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Area Classification
I'm thinking of automotive service shops that have a dividing wall between the service bay and the customer waiting area. The auto bay is classified, the waiting area is not.
Of course, as above, the point of origin of the vapor or dust would still remain classified, up to the limits set by the NEC.

Surrounding an MCC room with a fire wall in the middle of a classified area doesn't make it safe unless ventilation is provided from a safe lcoation and all hazards are investigated.
