Fire Sprinklers for the Fire Investigator: Not All Systems are Created Equal

Not all fire sprinkler systems are created equal, but they are all designed with a specific mission - to aid in life safety and/or to protect the building and contents by controlling a fire. How do you know what to include in your fire investigation and report? This session will help you to identify the fire sprinkler system during the fire investigation; to evaluate the fire sprinkler system’s operational effectiveness; to utilize the interface with the fire alarm panel to assist in the development of the fire timeline; to identify reasons why a sprinkler system may not perform as anticipated; and to ask key questions about the fire sprinkler system. Fire sprinkler systems come to life through photos, videos and real-life construction and fire investigation experiences.
