Thanks for your comments. I know of those books and wonder if they can be purchased from the Online Store Online Store here? By the way I saw one of your pictures in an Electrical Inspection book recently published by NACHI showing the old A Base meters in the back of your house. I remember that picture form one of your posts awhile back.

BTW, my garage has not had any vehicle inside in 10+ years; no lawnmowers, snow blowers, etc. Same here except that is where I keep the golf cart. Maybe I should call the top 18" "the hazardous location". (hydrogen) The same would be true of any electric vehicle with a regular lead battery.

Joe,
Back in the day when I was in business, one of my jobs was to wire up a commercial garage after there was a fire. Now I know you are talking about a resi garage, but gas doesn't care which garage floor it is sitting on. Commercial or residential, the fire job I did started when a trouble light hit the floor where there was a small amount of gasoline. The mechanic got burnt but survived the fire. The whole garage had to be rebuilt and rewired.

I put sprinklers in the garage I had in Md. While I was at it I also sprinklered the choke points in the house (3 more heads).

Harold:
I'll venture a guess:
Points of convergance along the egress path. Locations where egress must be assured.

Yes, they are the places that were critical to getting out.
This was the typical split foyer 2 story and a landing where there is a foyer half way between the two floors in front and a grade level entrance there. Without jumping out a window, you have to go down those stairs and if you were in the ground floor bedroom you have to get by that point too, even if you are going out the ground floor rear exit.
The utilities are under that foyer. I sprinklered the utility room, the hallway past that door on the ground floor and the foyer itself. Later I put a door directly out of the bedroom to the deck we added with steps down to grade.

Greg,
Sometimes around here and referring to road ways, we call them "bottlenecks". That is where you are trying to get 4 lanes of highways down into a 2 lane one.
I kinda of thought that was what you meant, but I wasn't sure.
