Dear all,
After studying NFPA 20 for some time, I feel like there are some major practices in NFPA that is different to anything we've been learning from our local AHJ in Asia.
The biggest one that's been bugging me, and I would like to discuss today to have a better clarity, is the topic on having a Duty and Standby Fire Pump.
Correct me if I am wrong, but this practice is non-existent in NFPA and perhaps non-mandatory in the States?
I've watched some Youtube videos on Fire Pump testing in America and never once have I seen the fire inspector describing anything about testing two identical fire pumps, one being a standby...
Would appreciate some feedback regarding this as I have never had the privilege to travel to the States to learn more.
Thank you
