Reservoir Sizing for Fire flows
Reservoir Sizing for Fire flows
(OP)
(1) There have been situations where multiple fires were burning simultaneously in a particular pressure zone. So why is there apparently (in my research) never a requirement to increase reservoir fireflow storage based on the area or population served?
(2) have municipalities found their reservoirs drained empty while there were still multiple fires burning after events such as earthquakes?
Thanks

Water storage capacity is based on a reasonable assumption of risk.
