IMO you'r done without the fire rated cables based on 700.10(d)(1)(5) as long as the fire cable be encased in a minimum of 50 mm (2 in.) of concrete.

Well I wont quote what the other reply stated, I will just tell you that in accordance with 695.6(A)(2)(1) should have you covered. You would not need to call it anything other than what it is, fire pump supply conductors being installed in accordance with the code section mentioned above. [695.6(A)(2)(1)]

Where could i find 695.6(A)(2)(1) unless it's there in NEC 2014 which i don't have otherwise you refer to 695.6(A)(2)(d) & it's just a typo, if you mean 695.6(A)(2)(D) that would say the same as 700.10(d)(1)(5).

Yep...typo...Should have been 695.6(A)(2)(d)(1)

Yes, it is the same but more relevant since the discussion is about fire pump feeders.
