COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
Properly functioning fire sprinklers can significantly reduce the extent of property damage and increase the chance of building occupants escaping a fire. However, keeping these systems in optimal condition calls for a thorough understanding of complex mechanics, equipment, and practices.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of fire protection systems inspection, testing and maintenance. It covers the NFPA 4 standard for integrated fire protection and life safety system testing; the NFPA 25 standard for the inspection, testing and maintenance of water-based protection systems; the application of NFPA 25, deluge foam-water sprinkler and foam-water spray systems, valve and water-based fire protection system; the inspection, testing and maintenance of task frequencies; the NFPA 25 general requirements; the inspection, testing and maintenance of performance-based compliance programs; and the inspection, testing and maintenance of sprinkler systems, standpipe and hose systems, private fire service mains, fire pumps, water storage tanks, water spray fixed systems, foam-water sprinkler systems, water mist systems and common components and valves.
