	Fire sprinkler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fire sprinkler systems for high-rises are usually also equipped with a fire pump, and a jockey pump and are tied into the fire alarm system.
		Sprinklers have been in use in the United States since 1874, and were used in factory applications where fires at the turn of the century were often catastrophic in terms of both human and property losses.
		Sprinklers may also be required in hazardous storage spaces by building codes, or may be required by insurance companies where liability due to potential property losses or business interruptions can be reduced by adequate automatic fire protection.

	Fire Sprinkler System Maintenance, Inspection - Fire Systems, Inc - Atlanta, GA
		Fire sprinkler systems are required to be inspected in accordance with NFPA 25.
		Fire Sprinkler systems have been the most effective form of fire protection for decades, but they must be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association and the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
		An inspection is a visual examination of a water-based fire protection system, or portion thereof to verify that it appears to be in operating condition and is free of physical damage.

	Fire Sprinkler Service
		So many initiating factors exist to start a fire that constant readiness must be maintained in the proper functioning of the fire fighting equipment, the entire fire suppression network, and in the ability of personnel to properly respond to a wide range and severity of fire threat scenarios.
		Since fire sprinkler systems are not recirculating, and contain hundreds of dead ends throughout a typical installation, it is virtually impossible to adequately remove such foulants.
		The sudden impact to a stagnant sprinkler main caused by a 150 horsepower fire pump kicking on in response to a fire call has the potential to dislodge hundreds, if not thousands of pounds of particulate debris downstream into smaller zone control and actuating valves, and into the sprinkler heads themselves.

	Intro to Automatic Fire Sprinklers, Part 1 (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A fire is essentially a chemical reaction in which a carbon based material (fuel), mixes with oxygen (usually as a component of air), and is heated to a point where flammable vapors are produced.
		As the fire reaches the end of the incipient period, there is usually adequate heat to permit the onset of open, visible flames.
		The faster a sprinkler reacts to a fire, the sooner the suppression activity is initiated, and the lower the potential damage level.

	AN INTRODUCTION TO FIRE DETECTION, ALARM, AND AUTOMATIC FIRE SPRINKLERS (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Basically, a fire is a chemical reaction in which a carbon based material (fuel), mixes with oxygen (usually as a component of air), and is heated to a point where flammable vapors are produced.
		Fire sprinklers utilize water by direct application onto flames and heat, which causes cooling of the combustion process and prevents ignition of adjacent combustibles.
		During the incipient fire stage, the heat output is relatively low and is unable to cause sprinkler operation.
