A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection method, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flowrate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected. Although historically only used in factories and large commercial buildings, systems for homes and small buildings are now available at a cost-effective price.
A fire hydrant, also called fireplug, is a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water supply. It is a component of active fire protection.
An automated water spray system where the water distribution piping is equipped with open spray nozzles for discharging over a protection area or equipment.
Foam sprinkler systems use foam to extinguish fires in buildings. The fire sprinkler pump distributes the water & foam mixture via the pipe-system and discharges the foam spray via the sprinklers.
