There are presently over 350 NFPA codes, standards and manuals maintained by over 7,000 volunteer members, coordinated by NFPA staff experts.

Most common cause of fire during the holliday season is electrical fire. Christmas lights are the culprit in most cases.

Nothing, it's just water. In rare cases an anti-freeze agent may be added.

He doesn't. Smokey is concerned only with fires caused by human carelessness.

Having a sprinkler system is a great way to keep your lawn healthy and beautiful. At the same time, sprinkler systems can often lead to headaches. The irony here is that most sprinkler system problems stem from poor installation. Too many people try to save money by hiring poor installers. These are often people with no reputation and experience. Therefore, the consumer is mostly to blame. There are so many ways to research who you're hiring that it would be irresponsible not to do your homework prior to paying someone to do a job. That said, if you did make this mistake, then you're not alone. If you're having a problem with your sprinkler system, then you need to look into sprinkler system repair.

The good news is that there are a lot of quality sprinkler system repair people out there. The first step is to find out how long an individual or company has been in business. You don't want to hire someone who is doing an odd job just to make a little extra money. You want to hire someone who knows the ins and outs of the sprinkler system repair business. After finding out how long they've been in business, call them and ask sprinkler system questions. You want to see how knowledgeable and confident they are before giving them your hard-earned money.

Once you find the best sprinkler system repair option, ask to be on the scene while they perform the repairs. This way, you might be able to fix the issue on your own the next time a problem arises. It will also ensure that the workers don't be pulling any funny business in regards to creating a different problem down the road so they will get another call.

Since poor installation is the most common cause for sprinkler system problems, the most common problem is a leak. A quality sprinkler system repairman should be able to fix the average leak in less than an hour. This should never cost more than $100. If they quote you more and it's only one small leak, then you need to go with someone else the next time around. On the other hand, if they fix the leak and they're reasonable with their quote, then you have found a good sprinkler service repairman.

A fire protection class in the USA is a number between 1 and 10, based upon an independent evaluation of the availability of fire protection for a particular location or particular structure. The primary considerations are whether there is a fire department within a few miles, with proper equipment and training, and a with sufficient water supply for the necessary fire flows.

An "emergency exit" is a door or passageway to a place that should be safer than where you are. It is "emergency" exit because it would not normally be open for use (going in or out), but must be able to open during an emergency.

All emergency exits are required to be marked with an illuminated "EXIT" sign. Your local fire code will determine how many there must be, whether they are required to have "panic hardware" to unlock them (i.e., by a blinded child with no hands), among other things.

In countries other than the USA, you may see "Way Out" signs, rather than EXIT, or a pictogram showing a person going through a door or up/down stairs.

Yes only during Forest Fire Seasons between the hours of 5pm to 7am. Must be put out by 7am or you could face fines.

Some fire sprinkler systems have a valve for testing the water-flow alarm by allowing water to flow to the alarm, or through the alarm-sensing pipe, without activating any sprinklers in the rest of the system.

It's better to crawl low because the smoke rises so if you crawl under it you wont inhale as much of it and are less likely to die of smoke inhalation than if you just ran through it

The contain the fire and help to stop it speading to other parts of the building, they also help to limit the spread of smoke. Fire doors can also reduce the amount of oxygen that supports the fire.

There are many types of workers involved, but they often go under the general term of "firefighter." Some forest fire personnel are also called "wardens" or "rangers", depending upon jurisdiction and local usage.

There is no particular exemption for hospitals needing fire sprinklers. In fact, there are many fire hazards in hospitals that increase the need for fire protection.

A good design, however, may incorporate additional mechanisms to extend the time for release of water or for using a "dry pre-alert" system in certain areas. Even where there are fixed fire extinguishing systems (CO2, Halotron, etc), sprinklers are typically required "throughout" the facility.

I guess this would depend on which of the 50 states you were in.

RACE often refers to a fire-protection mnemonic for recalling actions for staff to take upon discover of a fire, namely

Remove victims or other occupants from immediate;

Alert and alarm others to the situation;

Comparmentalize and Contain the fire;

Extinguish a small fire if it can be done safely and Evacuate, if not.

The National Fire Protection Association and The National Paint and Coating Associations Hazardous Material Identification System use red for flammability

Fire department connections are actually used in fire sprinkler systems.When any fire occurs water is discharged from the sprinkler heads that have fused, and are discharging water to supress and extinguish the fire. The fire department connection is used by the fire department to add to the water supply to the sprinklers and/or charge the interior hydrant connection withn the building (if any).

Fire protection in a security facility is a challenge. Generally speaking, there are at least two exits from a series of cells or dorm areas. A "front door" where all inmates and staff members come and go will be used on a regular basis. This may or may not be a sallyport. Special "back doors" or "side doors" to the housing unit will be opened to allow inmates out of an affected area in emergency situations. There are no "fire escapes" in prisons or jail facilities. There are just marked and known escape routes that staff can use to direct the egress of inmates in situations when it is unsafe for them to remain in secure housing areas.

Exit routes are posted on cards in all buildings of a correctional facility, just like any school, hospital or manufacturing facility you might enter. (They're there if you look for them.) Additionally, staff and fire fighters working at any facility are drilled in the ways to respond to fire in a housing unit. They know what it takes suppress fires, move inmates and protect lives and property. It's part of their jobs, and they generally take responsibility for knowing and following procedure.

There are currently over 360 NFPA codes and standards for fire protection under various circumstances.

My 18 year old son and his friend were caught with their backpacks full of beer. They were walking and a vehicle was not involved. They were told they were being arrested but the process was not done. No finger printing, etc. They were handcuffed and brought to the police station and left in a room for over an hour. They both received a ticket and a court date. They are good boys but stupid. What can happen to them? Honestly I am not condoning this but you can send an 18 to war but they cannot drink and let me tell you we all did this.
