[Hessam1361]

I'm assigned to size,design and create scope of work for a firewater pump package for a 3 storeys camp site and some other buildings. Also I need to size the required storage tank. Can anyone help me where can I start or what codes, standards or guidlines I can follow?

NFPA 13, 20, 22 and 24 are good starting points for what you are looking for. Your question has about 10,000 variables that will have to be taken into account for in determining your answer.

You will also need to establish a criteria for establishing fire flow. I would recommend the Insurance Service Office criteria:

Property insurance carriers often have their own property engineers that specialize in fire protection, see if your insurance company has that type of talent.

Once Hessam1361 has all of his info and calculation done, he could become a contributor to the NICETIII examination board.
