PLUMBING (FIRE SYSTEM)

Fire hose reels


Fire hose reels are provided for the use of occupants as a fire
fighting measure but may, in some instances, also be used by
firefighters.
When stowing a fire hose reel, it is important to first attach the
nozzle end to the hose reel valve, then close the hose reel valve,
then open the nozzle to relieve any pressure in the wound hose,
then close the nozzle.

Fire extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are provided for a 'first attack' firefighting measure, generally
undertaken by the occupants of the building before the fire service arrives. It is
important that occupants are familiar with which extinguisher type to use on
which

Fire hydrant systems


Fire hydrant systems are installed in buildings to help firefighters quickly attack the fire. Essentially, a
hydrant system is a water reticulation system used to transport water in order to limit the amount of
hose that firefighters have to lay, thus speeding up the firefighting process.
Fire hydrants are for the sole use of trained firefighters,
Because of the high pressures available serious injury can
occur if untrained persons attempt to operate the
equipment connected to such installations. Fire hydrant
systems sometimes include ancillary parts essential to
effective operation such as pumps, tanks, and fire service
booster connections. These systems must be maintained
and regularly tested if fire hydrants are to be effective when
needed.
Automatic Sprinkler Systems
Automatic sprinkler systems are one of the most reliable methods
available for controlling fires. Today's automatic fire sprinkler systems
offer state of the art protection of life and property from the effects of
fire. Sprinkler heads are now available which are twenty times more
sensitive to fire than they were ten years ago. Sprinkler systems are
usually installed in high or large buildings and high

Fire Hydrant
A fire hydrant is a connection point by which firefighters can tap
into a water supply. It is a component of active fire protection.

Smoke detector
A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an
indicator of fire.
ELECTRICAL UTILITIES

Electrical Panel Board


When the electricity enters the house or building, the main electrical
panel main functions is to distribute electric power. One of the purposes
of panel board is to breaks up the power supply into sub-circuits
depending on the usage of a panel board. This is to ensure that everyone
and everything is safe against any accidents like short circuits.

Circuit Breaker
It is a mechanical device that disturbs the flow of high magnitude (fault) current
and in additions performs the function of a switch. A circuit breaker is a
switching device that interrupts the abnormal or fault current.

Generator
A machine that converts mechanical energy into electricity to serve as a power
source for other machines. Generators are
useful appliances that supply electrical
power during a power outage and prevent
discontinuity of daily activities or disruption
of business operations.
