Sprinklers and fire protection systems are required by NFPA Codes, but are often dependent on the overall size of the facility and quantity of stored flammable/combustible material. The wisest course of action is to provide heat and smoke detectors in each laboratory and provide a sprinkler system at least in the hallways. Each laboratory should have at least one ABC portable fire extinguisher. Computers have become more important to laboratories than ever. Halon fire extinguishing systems are available which are nondestructive to both electronic equipment and human life. These should be employed for fire protection. [Pg.230]

If the MCC will be located within an electrically classified area, the ventilation system must be designed, operated and maintained to create a positive pressure inside the MCC building and the air intake located outside of the electrically classified area. The MCC should be equipped with smoke detectors and alarmed to a constantly attended location. CO2 fire extinguishers are the suggested protection for MCC rooms. The storage of combustible materials inside an MCC must be prohibited. [Pg.310]

Perhaps the most unusual modern application of potassium nitrate-based powders is in the fire protection industry. The white smoke mainly consists of potassium carbonate and this has been found to have fire extinguishing properties due to the way in which the potassium salt in the smoke interferes with the combustion chemistry of a fire. [Pg.16]

Handle floor-plan questions in the same manner as those on maps. Before attempting to answer any questions, look at the diagram. Familiarize yourself with such features as doors, windows, doorways, patio doors, fire extinguishers, and smoke detectors. Read each question carefully then return to the diagram to find the answer. After you have determined your answer, try to match it to the choices. The correct answer should be apparent, but read each choice carefully to avoid making unnecessary errors. Never jump at one option without carefully reading all the others. [Pg.224]

How many smoke detectors and fire extinguishers are there in apartments 1 and 2 ... [Pg.227]

The answer is a. You must read the question carefully to see that it asks you to look at both apartments and to find two items, the smoke detectors and the fire extinguishers. There are two smoke detectors and one fire extinguisher in each apartment. If you counted the smoke detectors (but not the fire extinguishers) in both apartments, you would have chosen choice c. On the other hand, if you counted both smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, but only in one apartment, you would have thought choice d was correct. [Pg.227]
