Firefighters must understand how sprinkler systems work to pre-plan fire response and to use sprinklers effectively during a fire incident. This self-paced program demonstrates the advantages of automatic sprinkler systems, then describes how they work and what components they contain.
This program is the first in a series of four programs in the Fighting Fire In Sprinklered Buildings multi-program certificate. The full sequence is:
- Part 1: Automatic Sprinkler System Design and Function
- Part 2: Why Sprinklered Buildings Burn
- Part 3: Developing a Pre-Incident Plan for a Protected Building
- Part 4: Engine Company Operations at Fires in Sprinklered Properties
