Fire potential during construction, alteration, or demolition operations is inherently high. The 2009 NFPA 241 Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration, and Demolition Operations provides measures for preventing or minimizing fire damage to structures, including those in underground locations, during such activities.
