Precautions for the use of fire pumps

The fire pump is part of the water supply of the fire sprinkler system and can be powered by electricity or diesel. The inlet of the pump is connected either to a public groundwater supply or to a static water source (e.g. tank, reservoir, lake). The pump supplies water at higher pressure to the sprinkler system risers and hose risers.
Fire pumps generally use three driving forces, including diesel engines, gasoline engines and electric motors. Gasoline engines are commonly used in portable fire pumps and light duty firefighting. Electric motors are the most widely used driving force for fire pumps and are both efficient and convenient.
