This SpringerBrief offers careful assessments of the
appropriateness and effectiveness of currently available
methodologies for fire flow. It explains the water supply
requirements for firefighting including rate of flow, the residual
pressure required at that flow, and the duration that is necessary
to control a major fire in a specific structure. First reviewing
existing fire flow calculation methodologies in the U.S. and
globally, the authors determine the new information necessary to
validate the existing fire flow calculation methodologies. After
identifying 19 methods from the U.S., UK, France, Germany, the
Netherlands, New England, and Canada, two types of methods are
evaluated: those for building planning based on fire and building
code requirements, and those for on-scene fire service use.
Building planning methods are also examined, including an
explanation of the range of building variables that determine fire
flow. A survey form for fire departments is provided to help fire
departments identify key predictive features based on construction
and building parameters. Researchers and professionals in fire
engineering will find the recommendations in Evaluation of Fire
Flow Methodologies valuable.
