Water-Based Fire Suppression Systems
This course will present a brief look at the history of water-based fire protection systems. Automatic sprinklers of today are highly effective elements of fire protection systems designed for buildings. When sprinklers are present, the chances of dying in a fire and property loss per fire are cut by one-half to two-thirds. There are different types of water-based fire protection systems, including wet-pipe, dry-pipe, preaction, deluge, double interlock preaction, antifreeze, water mist, and foam fire suppression systems. The vast majority of public-use buildings require a fire sprinkler system, and most utilize a wet-pipe fire sprinkler system type. We will delve into these different systems and examine their similarities and differences for accomplishing their specific design purposes. Automatic water-based fire protection systems are among the most effective, lifesaving active systems that can be provided for building occupants. This course will bring a better understanding of these systems to the learner.
