A fire pump is a critical component of a fire protection system designed to deliver high-pressure water to the sprinkler system in the event of a fire. Ensuring an adequate water supply and pressure is vital to effectively control and extinguish fires. They are installed in buildings under specific conditions to enhance fire protection. Fire pump inspections are crucial in ensuring they keep your building and people safe and are compliant with the NFPA.
They are commonly found in large structures or high-rise buildings where the existing water supply may not meet the fire protection system’s required pressure and flow demands. Factors such as building size, water supply availability, hydraulic considerations, local building codes, occupancy type, and water-based suppression systems influence the need for a fire pump. These pumps ensure adequate water pressure is maintained to operate fire sprinklers and other water-based suppression systems effectively.
