Fire Process
Fuel molecules + Oxygen molecules
gases (smoke & invisible gases)
+ energy (heat & light).
Fire has a triangle of needs. Fire
Extinguishing System serves to
deprive fire of its needs.

Areas to be Protected:
Buildings which is required to be sprinkler
protected shall be sprinklered throughout.
Areas exempted:
protected stairs with cut-off sprinklers at door
openings; 2-hr fire-rated rooms containing
only electrical equipment; open canopies;
computer rooms subject to conditions; indoor
pools

Deluge System
A system of open sprinklers controlled
by a quick opening valve (deluge
(deluge
valve)) which is operated by detectors
valve
installed within the same area. Use for
wet--down or in areas where fire may
wet
flash ahead of sprinkler operation.

Foam System
An aggregate of (inert) gas filled bubbles formed from
aqueous solutions of specially formulated concentrated
liquid forming agents.
Lighter than flammable or combustible liquids, it is the
only permanent extinguishing agent used for this type of
fire.
Low expansion foam is normally used.
Fixed (central foam station and fixed outlets) or semifixed systems (portable foam station and fixed outlets)
Needs large volume and rate. Unstable and easily
broken down by a physical or mechanical force.
Conductive and not recommended for use on electric
fires.
Breeching Inlets
Within 18m of adjacent fire engine
access road
2-way for 100mm riser
4-way for 150mm riser

Fire Hydrants
Fire hydrants location
and quantity to be
determined by
Architect.
Pillar type with two
63.5mm outlets or
three outlets
(1114mm &
263.5mm).
Code - CP29:1998
Fire Hydrants
Private fire hydrants shall be painted with a
100mm yellow band on the stem.
Water supply
Hydrants installed below 125mRL can receive
direct supply from PUB mains. Otherwise, storage
tank and pumping facilities shall be provided.
Refer to Table 1 of CP29:1998 for storage tank
capacity for hydrants (45 minute storage)

Fire Hydrants
Pressure and flow requirement for
private hydrants installed below
125m RL:
Running pressure at hydraulically most
unfavourable private hydrant 0.9
(running pressure of nearest public
hydrant P across bulk meter)
Flow at hydraulically most unfavourable
private hydrant 0.9 water flow of
nearest public hydrant or total flow
demand as required in Table 4.4.2 of
Code of practice for Fire Precautions in
Buildings 2002
Fire Hydrants
Fire Hydrant Mains
Ductile iron cement-lined pipe
Valve pit and cover on road must be able to
withstand vehicular load for that road
Hydrant mains trespassing a building shall have its
full length within the building protected with fireresistance construction of same fire resistance as
the element of structure.

Addressable System
A microprocessor-based system in which signals from
each detector, call point and/or activating devices are
individually identified at the control panel.
Each device is coded with an unique address and these
addresses are programmed into the memory of MFAP.
Scanning, interrogation, decision and other signal
processing
Loop configuration, thereby flexible for additions and
alterations.
