FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM
• Fire is a reaction giving off heat, light, and
smoke;
• The three essential elements for a fire to occur
are: heat, fuel, and oxygen.
• These three elements form what is called the
fire triangle. Removing any one of these
components and a fire cannot occur, or
continue.

Classes of Fire
Classification according to type of material under fire:
Class A fires; involving solid materials - paper, wood, fabrics and so
on. Cooling by water or spray foam is the most effective way of
extinguishing this type of fire.
Class B fires; involving flammable liquids such as petrol, oils, fats;
foam and dry powder extinguishers should be used.
Class C fires; which are fuelled by flammable gases such as natural
gas, butane and so on. Priority must be given to shutting off the
source of fuel and the fire should be tackled with dry powder.
Class D metal fires; involving metals such as aluminum and
magnesium; special powders are required in such situations.
Class E fires; in which live electrical equipment is involved (sometimes
known as ‘electrical fires’). Non-conducting agents such as powder
and carbon dioxide must be used
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 4
Classification according to the hazard of occupancy
•Extra light hazard; Non-industrial occupancies like hospitals, hotels,
libraries, office buildings, schools, museums,
nursing homes, and prisons.
•Ordinary hazard; Commercial and industrial occupancies involving
handling combustible materials. Under this class
there are four groups of occupational fire hazards:
Light group; butcheries, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, and cement works
Medium group; bakeries, laundries, garages, potteries, engineering shops
High group; aircraft factories, leather factories, carpet factories, plastic
factories, warehouses, departmental stores, printing
rooms, saw mills chemical labs, and tanneries
Special group; cotton mills, distillers, film and television studios, and match
factories.
•Extra high hazard; Commercial and industrial occupancies involving
handling highly inflammable materials such as;
celluloid works, foam plastics, rubber factories,
paint and varnish factories, wood and wool
works, oil and other flammable liquids.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 5
Fire Detectors
Heat and flame detectors; have three basic operating
principles:
•Fusion; melting of a metal rather like a normal electrical
fuse which operates a switch thus closing an electrical alarm
circuit.
•Expansion; a bimetallic strip is used which expands when
heated and makes contact with an open electrical circuit,
thus closing it and sounding an alarm.
Flame (heat) and smoke detectors; an infra-red beam is
transmitted across the protected area. The smoke and heat
interfere with the transmission of the beam; this is detected
by the receiving unit and the alarm is initiated.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 6
Smoke Detectors
• Ionization detectors; work on the principle that
ions are absorbed by smoke particles. Some of
the ions are absorbed by the smoke and the ion
flow across the detection chamber is reduced;
this change is detected and the alarm operates.
• Light scatter detectors; contain a photoelectric
cell fitted in a chamber at right angles to a light
source. Smoke entering the chamber scatters the
light and the resulting disturbance triggers an
alarm.
• Obscuration detectors; work on the opposite
basis to the light scattering principle in that
when the light which normally impinges on the
photoelectric cell is obscured by smoke, the
alarm is triggered.

Fire Protection of Buildings
There are four categories of fire protection
systems for buildings
• Portable extinguishers
• Fixed foam, carbon dioxide, and dry
powder extinguishers
• Fixed riser and hose-reel systems
• Sprinkler systems
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 8
Portable Fire Extinguishers
• Water or spray foam fire extinguisher; suitable for class A
fires involving solid materials - paper, wood, fabrics and so
on.
• Foam and dry powder extinguishers; suitable for class B
fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, oils, fats;
should be used.
• Dry powder extinguisher; suitable for class C fires which
are fuelled by flammable gases such as natural gas, butane
and so on.
• Special powder extinguisher; suitable for class D metal
fires involving metals such as aluminum and magnesium.
They work by simply smothering the fire with powdered
copper Non-conducting agents such as powder and carbon
dioxide extinguishers; suitable for class E fires in which live
electrical equipment is involved
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 9
Portable Fire Extinguishers
• Halotron 1 extinguishers; like carbon dioxide units, are for use on
class B and C fires. Halotron 1 is an ozone-friendly replacement for
Halon 1211. It discharges as a liquid, has high visibility during
discharge, does not cause thermal or static shock, leaves no residue,
and is non-conducting. These properties make it ideal for computer
rooms, clean rooms, telecommunications equipment, and
electronics.
• FE-36 (Hydrofluorocarbon-236fa) extinguishers; The FE-36 agent is
less toxic than both Halon 1211 and Halotron 9. In addition, it has
zero ozone-depleting potential.
• Water mist extinguishers; are ideal for Class A fires where a potential
Class C hazard exists. Unlike an ordinary water extinguisher, the
misting nozzle provides safety from electric shock and reduces
scattering of burning materials. This is one of the best choices for
protection of hospital environments, books, documents, and clean
room facilities. In non-magnetic versions, water mist extinguishers
are the preferred choice for MRI or NMR facilities or for deployment
on mine sweepers.

Portable Fire Extinguishers
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 11
Fixed Fire Extinguishers
• Fixed Foam Extinguishers: Buildings containing flammable
liquids normally have a piping system installed in the
protected areas in the building with an inlet in the street
through which foam is pumped. The opening is protected
by a strong glass panel and is marked ‘FOAM INLET’. The
fire brigade will smash the glass to feed the inlet.
• Fixed Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers: This system consists
of a piping network with nozzles attached and located in
the protected areas. The system is connected to a fixed
supply of CO2. This system does not cause any side effect
as it leaves no residue after its application.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 12
Fixed Fire Extinguishers (cont..)
• Dry Powder Systems: Dry powdered
extinguishing chemical agents under pressure of
dry air or nitrogen are discharged over the
burning materials. Normally, this system is
suitable for application on liquid and electrical
equipment fires.

Standpipe/Riser and Hose-reel System
A rising main consists essentially of a pipe
(of 50 mm minimum diameter) installed vertically
in a building with a fire service and has inlet at the
lower end and outlets at each floor inside the
building. (See next page)

HOSE REEL
Standpipe/Riser and Hose-reel System
There are two types of risers:
• WET RISERS; Wet risers are kept permanently charged
with water which is then immediately available for use on
any floor with an outlet. Buildings above 60 meters in
height should be provided with wet risers. Wet risers in
building should not be used for any other purpose.
The water supply system to the riser should be capable of
providing a pressure of 410 kPa at the highest outlet.
Lower outlets should be protected against excessive
pressure whereby pressures should limited to 520 kPa
maximum at any outlet.
Wet riser system is always the preferred system unless
freezing conditions may occur. In this case the dry riser
system is to be used.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 16
Standpipe/Riser and Hose-reel System
• Dry risers; Dry risers are similar to wet risers but
are kept empty of water. When required, they will
be charged by fire service pumps at ground level.
Dry risers should only be installed where prompt
attention can be relied upon or where buildings
are not fire sensitive such as all-concrete
buildings. Appropriate occupants training will be
required when such systems are installed.
The most common material used for standpipes is
steel.
Internal hose reels may be fitted inside buildings
and should be sufficiently light and easily
manipulated to be used by employees for a first
aid fire protection.

Automatic Sprinkler Systems
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 18
Types of
Automatic Sprinkler Systems
• In general, sprinkler systems may be classified into two
main types: wet-pipe and dry-pipe systems
• Wet-pipe System; In the wet-pipe system the pipe
work is fully charged with water at all times and thus, it is
the fastest system in delivering water. This system is
recommended except when freezing conditions may exist or
accidental mechanical damage to sprinkler head may result
in property loss or damage. Therefore, this system should
not be used in spaces designated for electrical equipment
such as computers, switch boards and alike.

Types of
Automatic Sprinkler Systems
• Dry-pipe system: In this system no water is introduced
into the piping network until a fire occurs. The dry-pipe
systems are used where conditions are such that freezing
may occur due to weather or other conditions such as cold
stores where the temperature is artificially maintained close
to, or below freezing. In dry type systems the pipes are kept
charged, at all times, with air or nitrogen under pressure.
Activation of a sprinkler head by heat released from a nearby
fire results in a pressure loss which in turn activates a dry
pipe valve which opens allowing water to enter the piping
network and sprayed through opened sprinkler heads. The
disadvantage of this system is that accidental damage to a
sprinkler head or gas leakage may falsely indicate the
existence of fire and activate the system causing property
damage. To avoid these unfavorable characteristics of dry-
pipe system a preaction valve is used resulting in what is
termed the "preaction system".

Dry-Pipe System

Schematic of dry-pipe sprinkler system
Types of
Automatic Sprinkler Systems
• Preaction System: This system is a dry-pipe
system with a preaction valve activated by a
separate fire detection system that is more
sensitive to fire than sprinkler heads. The fire
detection system may consist of smoke- or
flame-sensitive detection sensors that signal the
actuators to open the preaction valve allowing
water to flow through the sprinkler heads that
are already opened by heat from fire. Thus, this
system is much safer than the dry-pipe system
as the water is allowed to enter the piping
system only if fire occurs.

• Deluge System: This system is also a dry-
pipe system with sprinkler heads (or
nozzles) open all the time. The system is
equipped with "deluge" valve operated by
heat, smoke, or flame sensitive sensors.
Upon valve opening water discharges out of
all sprinkler heads simultaneously.

Example:
A five storey building with floor area of 800m2
(28x15 m) is to be equipped with hose-reel fire
fighting system. Size the system for down-feed
and up-feed water supply for a light fire hazard
classification. The height of each floor is 3.2m.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 45
Design of Hose Reel System
Solution:
• According to the coverage of 412 m2 per hose
reel, two hose-reels on each floor is sufficient to
cover the whole floor area.
• Assume 2 hoses operating simultaneously, the
riser flow rate is then 1.0 l/s (0.5 l/s, each.)
• The hose length is chosen from Table 1 as 30m
with diameter of 19mm.

hose reels at 1.0 l/s total flow rate for 1600 seconds
(or 27 minutes) duration.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 47
We also choose a nozzle with 4.8 mm diameter
(Pressure connection to reel=3.0 bar.)
We further choose the riser to be 50 mm in diameter since
the building height is just slightly greater than 15 m (i.e.,
16 m) as the pump will take care of the difference.

The only item left is the pump size. So, we size
the pump as follows:
Pressure required at point A is 3 bar (3.0e+5 Pa or 30.6 m
head).
Static pressure head at point A is 15 m (up-feed) or 3.0
m down-feed.

Water Supply to Water Based Systems
(riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems)
• Community Water Supply System
• There are three principle components to the water based fire
protection system; storage, distribution and the hydrants
themselves. While functional hydrants and a good water
delivery system are important, everything starts with proper
storage.
• Water for fire protection should be provided by gravity storage
wherever possible. This is because using elevation as the means
for developing proper water pressure in water mains and
hydrants is reliable, not dependent on pumps that could fail or
be shut down as a result of an electrical outage. Storage can be
provided through one or more large reservoirs or by multiple
smaller reservoirs throughout the community that are linked
together.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 72
Water Supply to Water Based Systems
(riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems
Elevation of Storage Reservoir
Every meter of head will produce 10.1 kPa of
pressure. therefore to generate 410 kPa in
the water distribution system, storage
reservoirs must be located at an elevation of
approximately 50 meters above the service
area. Adequate system pressures are generally
accepted to be between 410 to 575 kPa.
Accordingly, reservoirs should be placed at
elevations between 45 and 57.5 meters above
service areas.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 73
Water Supply to Water Based Systems
(riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems
Since most communities are not perfectly flat, there
will be some variation in service pressure. While it
may be possible to establish a reservoir level to most
of a hilly community, it is often possible to design a
system where the predominance of the community
falls within the 450-575 kPa range with pressures in
some portions experiencing less desirable but
acceptable ranges as low as 340 kPa and as high as
810 kPa.
In locations where pressure gradients may fall outside
these less desirable pressure ranges, additional
reservoirs should be set at appropriate elevations to
serve these areas or main-line pressure regulators
should be installed to protect low-lying areas from
excessive pressurization.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 74
Water Supply to Water Based Systems
(riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems
• Reservoir size; most municipal water systems for
fire protection provide combination service for
fire hydrants and domestic (private and
commercial) use. Thus the determination for
volume of water stored is based on a number of
factors.
• Reservoirs should have adequate capacity to
provide continuous domestic flow in the event of
a disruption of the reservoir refilling system. They
must also have adequate storage to provide
anticipated fire flows for a reasonable duration.
5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 75
Water Supply to Water Based Systems
(riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems
• A reasonable rule of thumb is that storage should be
sufficient to provide at least two days of peak domestic
consumption plus required fire flows as determined by the
Fire fighting authorities in the city.
• For example, in a typical residential neighborhood with no
unusual hazards, storage based on a fire flow of 3785
L/min for two hours may be appropriate.
• In commercial or industrial zones, flows on the order of
19,000 L/min for 3 hours may be required. Reserve
capacity may have to be balanced by water quality issues.
There must be sufficient water changeover in reservoirs to
keep water fresh and healthful.

Private water supply system
The supply of water to the water based fire protection
system in private buildings should be done from a special
reservoir devoted for this purpose. If the building is
provided by a continuous water supply at a rate of not less
than 1.6 m3 /min, a break tank of only 11.5 m3 would be
sufficient.
In the absence of adequate or dependable water main a
reservoir of not less than 45.5 m3 in volume should be
available on site of the building. The reservoir should be
provided with a pipe outlet of 150 mm diameter at the
street level and branched into four 64 mm instantaneous
couplings for connection to fire trucks.

Cooling by water or spray foam is the most effective way of extinguishing this type of fire. Class B fires; involving flammable liquids such as petrol, oils, fats; foam and dry powder extinguishers should be used. Class C fires; which are fuelled by flammable gases such as natural gas, butane and so on. Priority must be given to shutting off the source of fuel and the fire should be tackled with dry powder. Class D metal fires; involving metals such as aluminum and magnesium; special powders are required in such situations. Class E fires; in which live electrical equipment is involved (sometimes known as ‘electrical fires’). Non-conducting agents such as powder and carbon dioxide must be used 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 4
  • 70. Classification according to the hazard of occupancy •Extra light hazard; Non-industrial occupancies like hospitals, hotels, libraries, office buildings, schools, museums, nursing homes, and prisons. •Ordinary hazard; Commercial and industrial occupancies involving handling combustible materials. Under this class there are four groups of occupational fire hazards: Light group; butcheries, breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, and cement works Medium group; bakeries, laundries, garages, potteries, engineering shops High group; aircraft factories, leather factories, carpet factories, plastic factories, warehouses, departmental stores, printing rooms, saw mills chemical labs, and tanneries Special group; cotton mills, distillers, film and television studios, and match factories. •Extra high hazard; Commercial and industrial occupancies involving handling highly inflammable materials such as; celluloid works, foam plastics, rubber factories, paint and varnish factories, wood and wool works, oil and other flammable liquids. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 5
  • 71. Fire Detectors Heat and flame detectors; have three basic operating principles: •Fusion; melting of a metal rather like a normal electrical fuse which operates a switch thus closing an electrical alarm circuit. •Expansion; a bimetallic strip is used which expands when heated and makes contact with an open electrical circuit, thus closing it and sounding an alarm. Flame (heat) and smoke detectors; an infra-red beam is transmitted across the protected area. The smoke and heat interfere with the transmission of the beam; this is detected by the receiving unit and the alarm is initiated. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 6
  • 72. Smoke Detectors • Ionization detectors; work on the principle that ions are absorbed by smoke particles. Some of the ions are absorbed by the smoke and the ion flow across the detection chamber is reduced; this change is detected and the alarm operates. • Light scatter detectors; contain a photoelectric cell fitted in a chamber at right angles to a light source. Smoke entering the chamber scatters the light and the resulting disturbance triggers an alarm. • Obscuration detectors; work on the opposite basis to the light scattering principle in that when the light which normally impinges on the photoelectric cell is obscured by smoke, the alarm is triggered. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 7
  • 73. Fire Protection of Buildings There are four categories of fire protection systems for buildings • Portable extinguishers • Fixed foam, carbon dioxide, and dry powder extinguishers • Fixed riser and hose-reel systems • Sprinkler systems 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 8
  • 74. Portable Fire Extinguishers • Water or spray foam fire extinguisher; suitable for class A fires involving solid materials - paper, wood, fabrics and so on. • Foam and dry powder extinguishers; suitable for class B fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, oils, fats; should be used. • Dry powder extinguisher; suitable for class C fires which are fuelled by flammable gases such as natural gas, butane and so on. • Special powder extinguisher; suitable for class D metal fires involving metals such as aluminum and magnesium. They work by simply smothering the fire with powdered copper Non-conducting agents such as powder and carbon dioxide extinguishers; suitable for class E fires in which live electrical equipment is involved 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 9
  • 75. Portable Fire Extinguishers • Halotron 1 extinguishers; like carbon dioxide units, are for use on class B and C fires. Halotron 1 is an ozone-friendly replacement for Halon 1211. It discharges as a liquid, has high visibility during discharge, does not cause thermal or static shock, leaves no residue, and is non-conducting. These properties make it ideal for computer rooms, clean rooms, telecommunications equipment, and electronics. • FE-36 (Hydrofluorocarbon-236fa) extinguishers; The FE-36 agent is less toxic than both Halon 1211 and Halotron 9. In addition, it has zero ozone-depleting potential. • Water mist extinguishers; are ideal for Class A fires where a potential Class C hazard exists. Unlike an ordinary water extinguisher, the misting nozzle provides safety from electric shock and reduces scattering of burning materials. This is one of the best choices for protection of hospital environments, books, documents, and clean room facilities. In non-magnetic versions, water mist extinguishers are the preferred choice for MRI or NMR facilities or for deployment on mine sweepers. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 10
  • 77. Fixed Fire Extinguishers • Fixed Foam Extinguishers: Buildings containing flammable liquids normally have a piping system installed in the protected areas in the building with an inlet in the street through which foam is pumped. The opening is protected by a strong glass panel and is marked ‘FOAM INLET’. The fire brigade will smash the glass to feed the inlet. • Fixed Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers: This system consists of a piping network with nozzles attached and located in the protected areas. The system is connected to a fixed supply of CO2. This system does not cause any side effect as it leaves no residue after its application. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 12
  • 78. Fixed Fire Extinguishers (cont..) • Dry Powder Systems: Dry powdered extinguishing chemical agents under pressure of dry air or nitrogen are discharged over the burning materials. Normally, this system is suitable for application on liquid and electrical equipment fires. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 13
  • 79. Standpipe/Riser and Hose-reel System A rising main consists essentially of a pipe (of 50 mm minimum diameter) installed vertically in a building with a fire service and has inlet at the lower end and outlets at each floor inside the building. (See next page) 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 14

  • 81. Standpipe/Riser and Hose-reel System There are two types of risers: • WET RISERS; Wet risers are kept permanently charged with water which is then immediately available for use on any floor with an outlet. Buildings above 60 meters in height should be provided with wet risers. Wet risers in building should not be used for any other purpose. The water supply system to the riser should be capable of providing a pressure of 410 kPa at the highest outlet. Lower outlets should be protected against excessive pressure whereby pressures should limited to 520 kPa maximum at any outlet. Wet riser system is always the preferred system unless freezing conditions may occur. In this case the dry riser system is to be used. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 16
  • 82. Standpipe/Riser and Hose-reel System • Dry risers; Dry risers are similar to wet risers but are kept empty of water. When required, they will be charged by fire service pumps at ground level. Dry risers should only be installed where prompt attention can be relied upon or where buildings are not fire sensitive such as all-concrete buildings. Appropriate occupants training will be required when such systems are installed. The most common material used for standpipes is steel. Internal hose reels may be fitted inside buildings and should be sufficiently light and easily manipulated to be used by employees for a first aid fire protection. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 17
  • 84. Types of Automatic Sprinkler Systems • In general, sprinkler systems may be classified into two main types: wet-pipe and dry-pipe systems • Wet-pipe System; In the wet-pipe system the pipe work is fully charged with water at all times and thus, it is the fastest system in delivering water. This system is recommended except when freezing conditions may exist or accidental mechanical damage to sprinkler head may result in property loss or damage. Therefore, this system should not be used in spaces designated for electrical equipment such as computers, switch boards and alike. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 19
  • 85. Wet-pipe System 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 20 Schematic of wet-pipe sprinkler system
  • 86. Types of Automatic Sprinkler Systems • Dry-pipe system: In this system no water is introduced into the piping network until a fire occurs. The dry-pipe systems are used where conditions are such that freezing may occur due to weather or other conditions such as cold stores where the temperature is artificially maintained close to, or below freezing. In dry type systems the pipes are kept charged, at all times, with air or nitrogen under pressure. Activation of a sprinkler head by heat released from a nearby fire results in a pressure loss which in turn activates a dry pipe valve which opens allowing water to enter the piping network and sprayed through opened sprinkler heads. The disadvantage of this system is that accidental damage to a sprinkler head or gas leakage may falsely indicate the existence of fire and activate the system causing property damage. To avoid these unfavorable characteristics of dry- pipe system a preaction valve is used resulting in what is termed the "preaction system". 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 21

  • 88. Types of Automatic Sprinkler Systems • Preaction System: This system is a dry-pipe system with a preaction valve activated by a separate fire detection system that is more sensitive to fire than sprinkler heads. The fire detection system may consist of smoke- or flame-sensitive detection sensors that signal the actuators to open the preaction valve allowing water to flow through the sprinkler heads that are already opened by heat from fire. Thus, this system is much safer than the dry-pipe system as the water is allowed to enter the piping system only if fire occurs. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 23

  • 137. Water Supply to Water Based Systems (riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems) • Community Water Supply System • There are three principle components to the water based fire protection system; storage, distribution and the hydrants themselves. While functional hydrants and a good water delivery system are important, everything starts with proper storage. • Water for fire protection should be provided by gravity storage wherever possible. This is because using elevation as the means for developing proper water pressure in water mains and hydrants is reliable, not dependent on pumps that could fail or be shut down as a result of an electrical outage. Storage can be provided through one or more large reservoirs or by multiple smaller reservoirs throughout the community that are linked together. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 72
  • 138. Water Supply to Water Based Systems (riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems Elevation of Storage Reservoir Every meter of head will produce 10.1 kPa of pressure. therefore to generate 410 kPa in the water distribution system, storage reservoirs must be located at an elevation of approximately 50 meters above the service area. Adequate system pressures are generally accepted to be between 410 to 575 kPa. Accordingly, reservoirs should be placed at elevations between 45 and 57.5 meters above service areas. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 73
  • 139. Water Supply to Water Based Systems (riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems Since most communities are not perfectly flat, there will be some variation in service pressure. While it may be possible to establish a reservoir level to most of a hilly community, it is often possible to design a system where the predominance of the community falls within the 450-575 kPa range with pressures in some portions experiencing less desirable but acceptable ranges as low as 340 kPa and as high as 810 kPa. In locations where pressure gradients may fall outside these less desirable pressure ranges, additional reservoirs should be set at appropriate elevations to serve these areas or main-line pressure regulators should be installed to protect low-lying areas from excessive pressurization. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 74
  • 140. Water Supply to Water Based Systems (riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems • Reservoir size; most municipal water systems for fire protection provide combination service for fire hydrants and domestic (private and commercial) use. Thus the determination for volume of water stored is based on a number of factors. • Reservoirs should have adequate capacity to provide continuous domestic flow in the event of a disruption of the reservoir refilling system. They must also have adequate storage to provide anticipated fire flows for a reasonable duration. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 75
  • 141. Water Supply to Water Based Systems (riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems • A reasonable rule of thumb is that storage should be sufficient to provide at least two days of peak domestic consumption plus required fire flows as determined by the Fire fighting authorities in the city. • For example, in a typical residential neighborhood with no unusual hazards, storage based on a fire flow of 3785 L/min for two hours may be appropriate. • In commercial or industrial zones, flows on the order of 19,000 L/min for 3 hours may be required. Reserve capacity may have to be balanced by water quality issues. There must be sufficient water changeover in reservoirs to keep water fresh and healthful. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 76

  • 144. Water Supply to Water Based Systems (riser-hose-real and sprinkler systems Private water supply system The supply of water to the water based fire protection system in private buildings should be done from a special reservoir devoted for this purpose. If the building is provided by a continuous water supply at a rate of not less than 1.6 m3 /min, a break tank of only 11.5 m3 would be sufficient. In the absence of adequate or dependable water main a reservoir of not less than 45.5 m3 in volume should be available on site of the building. The reservoir should be provided with a pipe outlet of 150 mm diameter at the street level and branched into four 64 mm instantaneous couplings for connection to fire trucks. 5/19/2021 BUILT ENVIRONMENT 79
