If your building features fire sprinklers, chances are good you also need a fire pump. This machine ensures every sprinkler in the building receives enough water to extinguish a fast-growing blaze. If the pressure drops, the fire pump turns on automatically to increase the water flow to an adequate level.
Water pressure is most likely to be a problem in high-rises, large buildings, and structures with ground-level water tanks. These types of properties need fire pumps the most, though we install them in other buildings as well.

Fireproof materials do not burn and cannot be damaged by fire, while fire-resistant materials can withstand fire and prevent it from spreading for a certain amount of time.
Most sprinkler heads contain a small bulb with a colored liquid inside. This bulb acts as a plug to prevent water from escaping from the sprinkler. The heat from a fire causes this liquid to quickly expand. Once the pressure in the vial gets too high, the bulb bursts and releases the water behind it.
Here are some steps to follow but may vary based on the extinguisher at your facility. It is always best to notify the fire department when a fire is present so they can assist you in what should be done and send help as needed.
- Pull the pin to release the lock or seal
- Aim the nozzle of the extinguisher low, pointing at the base of the flame
- Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent
- Move the nozzle from left to right covering the base of the flames until the fire dies out
- Watch the fire to make sure it does not reignite
The most common causes of fires are cooking equipment, heating equipment, electrical and lighting equipment, smoking materials, and intentional fires. By knowing what may cause a fire, your business can take proper precautions to prevent damage to your property.
