Fire Prevention and Protection

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) National Electrical Code (NEC)

Electrical wiring in the United States is generally in compliance with the National Electrical Code, a standard sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association which has been periodically revised since 1897. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_%28United_States%29

68 degree centigrade needs to break the red bulb in the fire sprinkler.

There are six classes of fires to define the type of fire, and most importantly, the type of fire extinguisher to use to put out the fire. Here are the fire classes and the types of extinguishers you should use:

Class A - Solids (wood, paper, plastic) require water, foam, dry powder, and wet chemical extinguishers.

Class B - Flammable liquids (fuel, oil, paraffin) require foam, dry powder, and CO2 gas extinguishers.

Class C - Flammable gasses (propane, methane, butane) require dry powder extinguishers.

Class D - Burning metals (aluminum, magnesium, titanium) require dry powder (M28/L2) extinguishers.

Class E - Electrical items require dry powder or CO2 gas extinguishers.

Class F - Cooking oils and fats require wet chemical extinguishers.

You can call ISO, which stands for Insurance Services Office. They handle such things in most states as well as standardizing of policies and many other items they provide to the industry. In your state, you need to call them and see if they have an online or published product for the general public. You will probably have to pay a small fee for this service, but it should be what you wanted.

The NFPA 704 symbol is red, blue, yellow and white.

Red code is "flammability"

Blue code is "health" danger

Yellow code is "instability"

White is for "special hazards" such as "do not wet" and "oxidizer"

I think the maximum distance is 1000,000,000,000 feet

The magnet holds the door open so long as power is present. Power is automatically interrupted with a fire alarm or if power is lost. Then fire door is closed to contain any fire.

Exactly the same as in any other building.

Local codes and fire inspectors will apply the appropriate rules, but the NFPA National Fire Code does not prohibit it.

The maximum allowable quantity (MAQ) of any flammable liquid being stored depends upon the type of occupancy (the purpose of the building), how it is stored (in safety containers or cabinets), where it is stored, what type of construction it is, if there are sprinklers, among other things.

Gasoline is a Class IB flammable liquid (flash point below 73 F and boiling point above 100 F). Do not confuse this with the DOT HazMat class 3 flammable liquids.

Under NFPA 1 (2009):

Most occupancies are allowed to store a total of 10 gallons Class I and II flammable liquids in one control area (fire separation) with up to 4 areas on the ground floor. Mercantile, warehouse and industrial buildings may have different rules (e.g., up to 120 gallons in containers in an industrial facility).

If the storage area is not on the first floor, the numbers are reduced. For example, at the 3d floor, only 50 percent of the quantity allowed in the occupancy type is allowed at that level (i.e., no more than 5 gallons of gasoline) and stored in no more than two areas, separated by a one-hour fire barrier.

There are no specific guidelines for distance away from a building during a fire drill, however, there are a couple factors to consider when designating assembly points for drills.

Many emergency coordinators fail to realize that weather conditions could dictate where you assemble. If there is wind that is blowing smoke and debris it could impact your assembly point in the event of a fire, so an alternative assembly point(s) should be considered.

Likewise, you have to consider that if the building becomes fully involved with fire the heat, smoke and debris field coming from the building should also be considered.

To answer your question, no there isn't a specific distance spelled out by a specific regulation, but common sense and good planning should make an assembly point at a distance where fire fighting equipment can get access, where the heat, flames and potential smoke will not impact personnel in an assembly point.

A good rule of thumb for moving away from the building for an assembly point would be at least twice the height in distance away.

• Prevent fire from starting, prevent loss of life in case fire does start, confine fire to its place of origin, and extinguish fires once it does start.

It can mean the distance the fire is traveling. It can also mean the distance it will take the firemen to arrive.

There are many types, but primarily a flow alarm works by a pressure switch that indicates a pressure drop when a sprinkler head (or test valve) opens, or an actual in-flow mechanism (a propeller or a movable flap) that moves when water flows.

Some early models (still in existence) run water through an impeller that moves a clapper in a gong while water is flowing.

The answer would depend upon the local zoning, local fire code, state fire code, type of construction, type of occupancy, type of hazard, among other things.

By the physical reaction to the jets it emits. The nozzles are on the ends of a tubular arm arranged to rotate freely around a central column that also carries the water to the arm. The arm ends are bent to the nozzles point sideways from it, and as the water flows from them under pressure, the reaction forces to the jet's forces, push the arm round.

Since hot air is lighter than cool air, heat, especially the high heat from a fire, moves up to the fire sprinkler heads on the ceiling the ceiling rapidly. When the heat gets too great, heat sensitive bulbs contained in the sprinkler heads burst and release pressurized water from behind the bulbs.
