peer agreement (net): -1Dry standpipe / fire plugs Explanation: Dry standpipe / fire plugs http://www.bcx.org/photos/things/water/faucets/fireplug/?fil... http://www.bcx.org/photos/things/water/faucets/fireplug/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standpipe_(firefighting) Dry standpipe A "dry" standpipe is a pipe extending into a building that can be used by the fire department to supply fire fighting water to the interior of the structure. The pipe is fixed and permanently in place with an intake usually located near a road or driveway so that a fire engine can supply water to the system. Fire fighters bring hoses in with them and attach them to standpipe outlets located along the pipe throughout the structure. Dry standpipes are not normally filled with water, the pipes are thus dry and are so named. When a fire occurs the pipes are "charged", meaning water is introduced into them. |
