Chart that shows who is responsible for each floor during an emergency.

Process of submitting the Fire Safety Plan (FSP) and Emergency Action Plan (EAP) to the FDNY for approval.

Importance of building occupants cooperating with evacuation procedures for their own and others' safety.

Person who usually works night shifts to manage evacuations when fewer people are in the building.

Volunteers part of the fire safety plan (usually during the day).

NYC law defining high-rise buildings (>75ft) and needing fire protection plans.

Backup power supply for critical systems during emergencies.

Mandatory sprinkler systems for high-rise office buildings (over 100 ft).

Building codes and local laws that govern building safety standards and require Fire Safety requirements for any building.

NYC law requiring color-coding for standpipes and sprinklers (red).

15-20 PSI is the target air pressure for proper clapper operation in a fire suppression system.

A pressure drop causing a clapper to open abruptly in a fire suppression system.

Equipment used to quickly open a fire suppression system's clapper, reducing response time to a fire.

Unintended activation of a dry pipe valve, often caused by malfunctioning quick opening devices during the fire suppression process.

A standpipe system divided into smaller zones to manage water pressure (limits the maximum pressure on sections).

Each zone in a multi-zone standpipe system is limited to 300 feet.

A system combining standpipe and sprinkler systems, sharing some water supply lines.

Fire suppression personnel must know the water supply, valve locations, and water riser sources for both standpipe and sprinkler zones.

Sources include city water main, gravity tanks, pressure tanks, and manually operated pumps with various tanks.

Water storage using elevation for pressure; no pumps needed for the standpipe system.

Primary water supply for standpipe systems.

A sprinkler system where pipes are initially dry, opening a valve in response to water pressure when a sprinkler head opens during a fire.

A device that controls air pressure in a dry pipe sprinkler system.

A valve in a dry pipe sprinkler system that opens when air pressure drops, allowing water to flow.

A sprinkler system that prevents water from entering until heat or temperature detectors provide a signal, reducing water damage risk.

A sprinkler system where all pipes are dry; water is added manually through a valve.

A system where a single pipe has holes for water discharge, used in hard-to-reach areas.

A sprinkler system using foam to extinguish fires involving flammable or combustible liquids.

Fire pumps should be in a fire-resistant room or non-combustible materials, positioned as close as possible to the fire protection system (FPS).

Fire pumps, controllers, and drivers must be shielded from interruptions to their service.

Water systems must maintain temperatures above 40°F to avoid freezing.
