Automatic sprinklers:
Expedite the installation of automatic sprinklers.
Underground mains, hydrants and a source of
water should be provided in the earliest stages of
construction. The goal should be to get sprinklers
in service ahead of combustible occupancy and
immediately following combustible construction.
In multi-story buildings, capped standpipes
with hose connections should be extended
upward as the various floors are constructed.
There should be a conspicuously marked fire
department pumper connection on the outside
of the building at street level. The local fire
department should be aware of the existence
of the connection as soon as it is in service.
