(2) Department stores normally have large, open interiors (Figure I-11). Such areas permit
firing of ATGMs or personally-carried surface-to-air missiles (if there are adequate
fields of fire). Often a mezzanine level with a large backblast area permits firing down
onto tanks. Steel fire doors often exist between sections of the store. The steel fire doors
are activated by heat. Once closed, they are difficult to breach or force open, but they
effectively divide the store into sections (Figure I-12).
