Fire Hydrant and Fire Sprinkler Systems are two types of active fire protection systems used to control and extinguish fires.
A Fire Hydrant System is an external water supply system that is typically installed on the Courtyard, Streets and Roads. It consists of underground Pipes, Valves, and Hydrants, which are used to supply water to fire-fighters in case of a fire. Fire Hydrants are usually connected to the Municipal water supply, and the water pressure is maintained through the use of Pumps and storage tanks. Fire Hydrant systems are effective in controlling fires in outdoor areas such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, corporate parks and residential areas.
A Fire Sprinkler System, on the other hand, is an internal water supply system that is installed within buildings and structures. The system is composed of pipes, sprinkler heads, valves, and a water supply, which is typically connected to the municipal water supply. When a fire is detected, the sprinkler heads are activated and release water onto the fire, helping to control and extinguish it. Fire Sprinkler Systems are highly effective in suppressing fires in buildings of all types, including residential, commercial, and industrial structures.
Overall, Fire Hydrant and Fire Sprinkler Systems are critical components of fire protection and can help prevent fires from spreading and causing significant damage. It's important to have a comprehensive fire safety plan in place that includes the appropriate use of these systems and regular maintenance and testing to ensure that they are functioning properly.
