Sprinkler Heads


Tonight we learned about everything you ever wanted to know about standing water pipes, fire alarms, smoke alarms, water gongs and everything else about fire alarms/suppression systems.

We ended the evening with a little water. Each FF had to demonstrate how properly stop the flow of water through a tripped sprinkler head by using a couple of door chocks/wedges or an official stopper.

Thanks to our neighbors in Bloomington (station #1) they have a room specifically equipped with sprinkler heads and water flow.
