automatic and manual operation. Deluge systems are suitable for
hazardous occupancies. This includes buildings in which flammable
liquids or other hazardous materials are handled or stored.
A device designed to discharge water or foam-water solution in a
Discharge Device Predetermined, fixed, or adjustable pattern. Examples include, but are
not limited to, sprinklers, spray nozzles, and hose nozzles.
A standpipe system designed to have piping contain water only when

the system is being utilized (No automatic water supply.)
Rooftop dunnage involves designing a raised series of beams (usually
steel) bearing on posts or bearing walls to support mechanical
Dunnage
Equipment (usually on a roof
top).
A connection , normally on the exterior of the building, through which
the fire department can pump supplemental water into the sprinkler

and that is used to supply hose and fire department pumps with water.
A pump that is a provider of liquid flow and pressure dedicated to fire
Protection. A fire pump is a part of a fire standpipe system's water supply
and can be powered by electric, diesel or steam. The pump intake is

static water source (e.g., tank, reservoir, lake). The pump provides water
flow at higher pressure and volume to the standpipe system risers and
hose standpipes.
A transverse bend (fold) occurring where the hose is lengthwise double

Occupant Use Hose Incipient fires prior to the arrival of trained fire fighters or fire brigade
members.
A hose consisting of only a woven jacket that is usually of linen yarns and
Unlined Hose
is of such quality that the yarn swells when wet, tending to seal the hose.
Hose Size An expression of the internal diameter of the hose.
Hose Station A combination of a hose rack, hose nozzle, hose, and hose connection.
The status of hose stored in a hose house, on a rack or reel, or on a fire
apparatus that is available and ready for immediate use at an incident.
In Service
This doesn't include hose in the storage where it is not readily available
to be put into service at an incident.
