It’s the first day on the job as a new inspector and you
show up at the installation for the inspection and annual
test. All of the records, including the certified factory test
curve, instruction manuals, and annual test results, have
disappeared faster than Mona Lisa’s smile in a Daniel
Brown novel. You look over the installation and are amazed
that this equipment can even operate, let alone provide water
under pressure, during a demand situation.
NFPA 20 requires that the fire pump equipment be
protected from possible interruption of service through
damage caused by explosion, fire, flood, earthquake,
rodents, insects, windstorm, freezing, vandalism…obviously,
we should have included walls falling on the equipment. It is
interesting to note that the only item left standing was the fire pump.
