Right on the Money, as always, Ms. Jones....

8.3.1 File rooms SHALL NOT be located in basements.

A.8.3.1 File rooms SHOULD NOT BE LOCATED UNDERGROUND because, under certain
conditions, burning or smoldering debris can accumulate in a basement in
sufficient quantities to produce a "cooking effect" of such duration that
it cannot be
resisted by construction alone (within practical limitations). Underground
storage imposes risk factors such as inaccessibility, delayed or impaired
access, smoke and heat ventilation, water accumulation and availability of
safe refuge.
