Water-Based Fire Suppression Systems

With 3,000 deaths and 16,000 injured each year, fire continues to make its mark on society. In addition, about 100 firefighters each year die in the line of duty. Property losses due to fire reach almost $12 billion a year, and most of these deaths and losses are preventable. In this interactive, online course, you will learn the basic, but critical, aspects of water based fire suppression systems. This course will discuss deluge systems, preaction systems, dry pipe systems, water mist systems, standpipe systems, and fire hydrants. The information you gain from this course will enhance your ability to appreciate the challenges of the fire protection system designer, trying to integrate their system with other disciplines. Utilizing this real-life knowledge will ensure a safe and code compliant project regardless of your contribution to the project.
