PUMPS (DIESEL / ELECTRIC)
Fire pumps can be considered the most critical piece of fire protection equipment as they are needed when the public water supply pressure is too low for sprinkler effectiveness.
Where there is no public water supply, a pump is connected to a private water supply such as a storage tank or river, creating the water pressure needed for fire fighting efforts.
Most fire pumps are either diesel engine driven or electric motor driven, depending on the situation. Automatic Fire Protection can advise which pump type best suits each application.
