Why Perform Fire Flow Tests?

In general, fire flow tests are conducted on fire hydrants to determine the water availability. Here are several reasons why a flow test might be needed:

• Planning for Firefighting Activities
• Determine water availability for effective firefighting
• Designing Fire Sprinkler Systems Ensure adequate water supply
• Evaluating Water Main Extensions
• System Improvements and Replacements
• Evaluate existing systems for necessary upgrades

Fire flow testing produces accurate water data used for various purposes, including training, planning, and marking hydrants. This data is also crucial for water system planning, design, and hydraulic model calibration.

As Moncton Fire Protection, we want to inform business owners that rust on the exterior of a pipe is not inherently an impairment and does not typically require immediate action. However, if an active leak is detected, characterized by flowing or spraying, this necessitates a Red tag in accordance with NFPA standards. In instances of slow drips or externally damp areas, a Yellow tag is warranted. Significant rust without an active leak calls for an internal pipe inspection for the specific area, with detailed documentation and photographs to support the recommendation.

Our procedure ensures that the issue is identified and the current state at the time of inspection is thoroughly documented from our visual perspective, ideally from ground level. We emphasize the importance of further assessment for remediation. If the owner opts not to pursue additional inspection, it remains their prerogative. While this documentation showcases our due diligence, it does not eliminate the potential for legal scrutiny. Our goal is to ensure the safety and integrity of your fire protection systems through meticulous inspection and clear communication.

As winter approaches, give your fire sprinkler system a once-over. Look for any visible damage, corrosion or leaks. Test the alarm system and fire pumps to confirm everything is in good working order. Don't wait until the first snowfall to discover any issues!

Lack of proper maintenance is one of the leading causes of fire sprinkler system failures. If not properly maintained, these systems can freeze, burst, cause water damage, and fail to function in the event of a fire. That’s why it’s so important to ensure your fire sprinkler system is ready for winter and has been properly inspected, tested, and maintained by a qualified contractor in accordance with the National Fire Code of Canada (NFC), which references NFPA standard 25.

The Charlottetown Fire Department said it received a call just after 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The department said the fire was caused by a pot of grease sitting on a stove that was left on accidentally.

“There was smoke and flames visible in a window on the first floor and we managed to extinguish the fire fairly quickly,” said Kent Mitchell, the deputy chief.

“It wasn’t a great big fire, but it doesn’t take much of a fire to create a lot of smoke.”

This is the second day in a row that Health P.E.I.-run clinics are closed in the building. According to a news release from Health P.E.I., crews are still cleaning the area and working to remove the smell of smoke.

This means patients are being contacted about new times and locations for their appointments.

The director of community specialty services with Health P.E.I. said staff were able to get into the building after everything was extinguished to get the information they needed to continue with service.

Mitchell said there were people in the building when the fire started but they all got out when the alarm went off.

“This building had a fire alarm system, sprinkler system, so that’s all good. But in any other building we certainly encourage you make sure you test your smoke alarms,” he said.

“It’s a lesson for everybody because it’s the smoke that really causes damage not necessarily the the size of the fire.”

The Swift Current Fire Department was called into action at 8:30 p.m. as alarms were ringing on the 300 block of 2nd Avenue Northwest.

Fire crews arrived to evacuation already underway but assisted two occupants from the building to safety.

Light smoke was seen coming from the building with the sprinkler system activated.

“They’ve been shown time and time again that they’re effective and they really help contain a fire until we get there,” Swift Current Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Dean Diguer said.

Structural and content damage was noted but Diguer chalked that up mostly to water damage, not the fire itself.

The cause of the fire is unknown and is under investigation.
