Fire Protection Systems

This comprehensive training course provided by Red Helmet Engineering will equip you with the
essential knowledge needed to correctly design, install, and assess vital fire suppression and water
supply systems. We focus on the practical application of key codes like NFPA 10, NFPA 13, NFPA
14, NFPA 20, NFPA 22, and NFPA 24.

Course Goals

The main goal of this course is to give you a systematic and thorough understanding of the codes
that govern fire suppression systems. You will learn to correctly select the right suppression system
for any building type, analyze how water supply changes affect existing systems, and implement
best practices for the design and analysis of fire pumps, water tanks, standpipes, and underground
piping. This knowledge will enable you to solve complicated design issues and keep up with new
industry trends and technologies.

Learner Outcomes (What You Will Achieve)

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently:

• Design Systems: Implement a step-by-step approach for designing different fire suppression systems, including sprinklers, standpipes, and fire mains.
• Select Components: Choose the appropriate fire suppression components, such as portable fire extinguishers and the right classes of standpipe systems.
• Analyze Water Supply: Accurately analyze the water supply requirements and select the correct fire pumps (NFPA 20) and water tanks (NFPA 22) to support your systems.
• Apply Code: Locate, interpret, and correctly apply the requirements from the six core NFPA standards (NFPA 10, 13, 14, 20, 22, and 24) to any project.
• Assess Existing Systems: Evaluate and analyze the critical effects of changes to water supplies or other elements in older, existing fire protection systems.
