Study Notes
Purpose and Authority
- Establishes operational guidelines for buildings equipped with fire protection systems.
- Authoritative oversight is provided by the Fire Rescue Administrator.
Scope
- Applicable to all personnel involved in emergency operations.
Key Procedures for Fire Protection Systems
Sprinklered Buildings
- Water Supply Support:
- Second engine connects to Fire Department Connection (FDC) with minimum two 3” supply lines and hydrant.
- Maintain water supply lines at 150 psi; static sources like lakes or canals are prohibited.
- Prioritize sufficient water for fire protection; do not diminish supply for other firefighting tasks.
- Valves Verification:
- Check PIV, WIV, OS, and Y valves are fully open unless otherwise directed by the Incident Commander (IC).
- Report any closed valves marked for repair to the IC.
- Fire Pump Operation:
- Start the fire pump manually if not automatically engaged. Notify IC if starting fails.
- System Shutdown Procedures:
- Avoid shutting off the sprinkler system until the fire is extinguished or directed by IC.
- Minimize water damage by ceasing flow from fused sprinkler heads as soon as possible.
- Control valves should only be closed on IC’s order, with a firefighter ready to reopen if needed.
- Firefighters may replace activated sprinkler heads and recharge the system, but building owners must contact professionals for repair.
- Follow-Up Post-Incident:
- IC must report on sprinkler system status to B.O.S.S.
- Required incident report should include details on issues encountered and steps taken regarding fire protection systems.
Buildings with Hose Cabinets and Standpipes Only
- Water Supply Support:
- Similar to sprinklered buildings, connect FDC with minimum two 3” supply lines.
- Initially charge supply lines to 100 psi and adjust based on hose layout; max pressure at FDC should not exceed 200 psi.
- Valves Verification:
- Check and open PIV, WIV, OS, and Y valves unless directed otherwise by IC.
- Fire Pump Operation:
- Start if present; notify IC if unable to start.
- Firefighting Operations:
- Connect to hose cabinets or standpipes one floor below the fire; do not use existing hose in cabinets without first flushing the system.
Combined Systems
- Definition: An integrated system that combines standpipe and sprinkler functionality sharing a common FDC.
- Water Supply Procedure:
- Maintain a minimum of 150 psi to support sprinklers; increase pressure if hose lines are deployed, without exceeding 200 psi at the FDC.
Supersession History
- Documentation of previous Standard Operating Guidelines related to fire protection systems.
