WHAT IS A FIRE PUMP, SPECIAL SERVICE? - ANSWERS-A fire pump that is located
above street level and that receives its water supply from a gravity tank or
suction tank supplying water to fire sprinkler system and/or Fire Department
hose outlets.
WHAT IS A FIRE PUMP, SPRINKLER BOOSTER PUMP? - ANSWERS-A fire pump
that supplies sprinkler systems only.
WHAT IS A FIRE PUMP, WATER MIST SYSTEM? - ANSWERS-A fire pump used to
boost water supply pressures in a fire protection system where such system
utilizes water misting technology.
,WHAT IS A GLASS BULB SPRINKLER? - ANSWERS-A sprinkler operated by heat
breaking a glass bulb filled with a non freezing liquid with diameters that vary
from 3mm for quick response sprinklers to 5mm for standard response
sprinklers.
WHAT IS A HOSE VALVE? - ANSWERS-The valve to an individual hose
connection.
WHAT IS A HYDRAULIC PLACARD? - ANSWERS-A sign attached to a hydraulically
calculated sprinkler system indicating the design density, required gallons per
minute and pressure for the system to operate properly.
WHAT IS A HYDRAULICALLY CALCULATED SYSTEMS? - ANSWERS-A method of
sizing automatic sprinkler piping using a prescribed amount of water to be
distributed over a specific area.
WHAT IS A IMPAIRMENT? - ANSWERS-A condition where a fire protection
system or unit or portion thereof is out of order, and the condition can result in
the fire protection system or unit not functioning
in a fire event.
what is a CONTROL MODE SPECIFIC APPLICATION SPRINKLERS (CMSA) - -
ANSWERS-Control mode sprinkler systems are designed to control a fire until its
original fuel source is depleted or until fire-fighting activities can commence. A
,fire is controlled by cooling the ceiling-level air temperatures, reducing the fire's
rate of heat release and pre-wetting adjacent combustibles.
WHAT IS A MASTER PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE - - ANSWERS-A pressure
reducing valve installed to regulate pressures in an entire fire protection system
and/or standpipe system zone.
what is a Fire Guard ? - ANSWERS-The impairment coordinator or other building
staff trained and knowledgeable in conducting a fire watch may conduct a fire
watch in lieu of a fire guard during the initial 4 hours of a planned removal from
service, or after discovery of an unplanned out-of-service condition, provided
that the floor or area in which the fire protection system is out of service does
not exceed 50,000 square feet. A sufficient number of fire guards shall be
provided such that each floor or area in which the fire protection system is out
of service is patrolled at least once an hour.
What is an Impaired Equipment:? - ANSWERS-Underground service mains,
water storage tanks, Fire Department connections, control valves, fire and or
booster pumps, that are out of service and are considered vital to part of the
system that are required to be tagged following procedures outlined in Chapter
15 of NFPA #25 2011 Ed.
What is Protection of Sprinkler Systems? - ANSWERS-All parts of an automatic
system exposed to freezing temperatures shall be protected from freezing or in
lieu thereof, an automatic dry pipe system or a system filled with a nonfreezing,
noncombustible solution shall be used. When a system filled with a nonfreezing
solution .
, What is a Riser Card.? - ANSWERS-In addition to those records required by NFPA
25 as mentioned above, an approved card bearing the dates of each inspection,
certificate of fitness number and signature of the certificate of fitness holder
shall be posted on the premises near the main water supply control valve. (FC
901.6.2.1) (This approved card shall not replace or supersede the detailed
record of inspection).
Notification of all defects shall be reported? - ANSWERS-To the owner or their
representative by the Certificate of Fitness holder. After 30 days, any of the
defects that have not been corrected shall be immediately reported to the Fire
Department Borough Communication Office.
WHAT IS A CONTROL VALVE? - ANSWERS-A valve controlling flow to water-
based fire protection systems such as Curb Valve and OS & Y valve. Control
valves do not include hose valves, inspector's test valves, drain valves, trim
valves for dry pipe, preaction and deluge valves, check valves or relief valves.
What is a CORROSION-RESISTANT SPRINKLER? - ANSWERS-A sprinkler fabricated
with corrosion resistant materials, or special coatings to be used in an
atmosphere that would corrode standard sprinklers.
WHAT IS A DEFICIENCY? - ANSWERS-A condition in which the application of the
component is not within its designed limits or specifications.
What is a CRITICAL DEFICIENCY? - ANSWERS-A deficiency that, if not corrected,
can have an effect on the performance of the fire protection system.
