FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM

Fire Fighting System

A fire fighting system protects lives and property during a fire. It includes:

Hydrant System

Fire hydrant systems are essential for protecting life and property. They provide a critical resource for firefighting efforts, helping to prevent the spread of fire and minimize damage. Regular maintenance and testing are necessary to ensure these systems function correctly when needed

Hydrants: These are the visible fixtures connected to the water supply. They provide firefighters with access to water.
Piping: A network of pipes that transport water from the main supply to the hydrants.
Valves: Control the flow of water within the system. They can be used to isolate sections of the system for maintenance or in case of damage.
Fire Hose Reels: Connected to the hydrants, these hoses allow firefighters to direct water onto the fire.
Boosters and Pumps: In larger buildings, booster pumps may be necessary to ensure adequate water pressure is maintained throughout the system

Sprinkler System

Sprinkler systems are essential for fire protection in buildings. They consist of a network of pipes and sprinkler heads installed in ceilings or walls. When a fire is detected, the heat activates the sprinkler heads, releasing water to extinguish or control the fire.

There are several types of sprinkler systems:

Wet Pipe Systems: The most common type, where water is always present in the pipes.
Dry Pipe Systems: These contain pressurized air or nitrogen, and water is released only when the sprinkler heads are activated.
Pre-Action Systems: Similar to dry pipe systems but require a two-step activation process.
Deluge Systems: All sprinkler heads are open, and water is released simultaneously when activated.
