Fire Prevention and Protection

That would depend upon what type of sprinkler it is, how far apart they are, what type of occupancy, what is the purpose of the wall and the material of the wall, among other things.

For example, some walls do not need any sprinklers at all.

No, Smokey Bear is a trademark of the USDA Forest Service, although it is also used by other agencies for similar safety messages on occasion.

Commercial use is administered by the Chief of the Forest Service, in the US Department of Agriculture, under the rules at 36 CFR § 271.

Reproduction, manufacture or importation other than § 271 authorization is prohibited under § 261.22. Penalties may be up to $500 fine and 6 months in prison, under § 261.1b.

Ladders have been used since ancient times so who invented the first one is not known. John Baisley is credited with inventing the first folding ladder in the late 1800's.

Standard toughened glass is class 0

I've found that the best thing to do is get it laminated. All paints fade and don't look new after a while but getting it laminated keeps it looking shiny and new! A few years ago I got mine done fairly cheap from a company called Excelsiordirect (they have a website explaining in better detail, I'm not really a pro when it comes to this sorta stuff!) but i do know that it looks loads better laminated than painted, and it still looks good as new :)

"Only YOU can prevent forest fires."

Previously, until 2001, it was "Remember - only YOU can prevent forest fires."

Originally, in 1944, it was "Smokey says -- Care will prevent 9 out of 10 forest fires," but this was changed to the above in 1947.

That isn't a word. This might help but, expiation means making amends.

Also, always use 'an' instead of 'a' when the following word starts with a vowel.

He was a black inventor who invented the fire extinguisher.

it depends on the size of the pipe,but usually two or more.

red = water and is used for wood paper textiles and solid material fires.

DO not use on liquid elictrical or metal fires.

blue = powder and is used for liquid and electrical fires.

DO not use on metal fires.

yellow = foam and is used for liquid fires.

DO not use on electrical or metal fires

black = carbon dioxide (CO) and is used for liquid and electrical fires

DO not use on metal fires.

halon can be used on all fires as well as dry chemical

Fire Prevention Week commemorates the Great Chicago Fire, which burned from October 8th to October 10th, in 1871. The actual starting date of the "week" in a given year depends upon which day of the week corresponds to the original tragedy.

Local codes can be more restrictive, and there are National, International and Uniform Fire Codes that may apply in your particular jurisdiction. Your local fire marshal will know the proper answer for you.

There is typically a different amount allowed in storage within machines, including gas tanks of vehicles and equipment, and stored in other containers.

The NFPA 1 "National Fire Code", for example, permits a "maximum allowable quantity" (MAQ) of 10 gallons of Class I and II combined flammable and combustible liquids to be stored in "residential occupancies", although not specifically "one- or two-family" occupancies, which would be 30 gallons per control area (twice that if stored in "safety cans" or proper cabinets).

Fire detectors do not detect the presence of fire, rather they detect heat or smoke depending on the type of detector. Smoke detectors have a light inside which shines on a receiver when smoke is present in the room it rises up and causes a break in the light therefore activating the alarm, this also makes it common for false activations in these types of alarms due to dust and dirt in the air. Heat detectors on the other hand have a small plate on the outside which is temperature sensitive. Heat detectors can be reactant to different levels of heat depending on what their use it. Usually they are made to activate at around 185 degrees F. When the ambient temperature reaches this (very low temperature for a fire) the metal plate will melt off its contact points therefore activating the alarm. These are just two types of detectors.

Most areas have fire code laws restricting how much gas a person can store at one time. Only store gas in approved containers. Do not fill the containers to the top. About 90 to 95 percent full is okay. Add a stabilizer and make sure the cap is tight on the container. Containers should be stored on a floor area, but where kids can't get to them. They should be a minimum of 50 feet from pilot lights, ignitions, space heaters, furnaces, and other sources of heat or flames. If you're going to store them in a garage or shed with a concrete floor, place a sheet of plywood under the containers. Do not store them in direct sunlight.

Depending on the size of the building it is between 1 and 3 minutes. Smoke can kill and many deaths in a fire are not caused by burns, but smoke inhalation (also referred to as 'Pretty Corpses').

The NFPA was formed in 1896 by a group of insurance firms with the stated purpose of standardizing the new and burgeoning market of fire sprinkler systems.

It depends on which state you are in, but they are usually green with white lettering.

october, to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire
Fire Prevention Month is in October. This is a great time to practice your fire drill and escape route plan to help your families and loved ones prepare for fires. Also, test your smoke alarms every month and replace the batteries in them as well (If they start to chirp).

In an open area where it is easily accessible

This is a statement. We need a who, what, when, where, why or how question.

The FDC and hydrant aren't something that connect directly together. In order to put any kind of water pressure into a sprinkler system, an engine HAS to pump it in. Therefore, as long as the fire apparatus has enough hose, or can GET the hose from other apparatus the hydrant could hypothetically be a block away. There may be problems with friction loss with any large distances though. In my local area, the fire department has a maximum of 150 feet from the FDC to the Fire hydrant.
