Hello,

I have a question concerning fire hydrant coverage in a power plant (combined cycle / CHP). I have heard that each fire hyrdant should be capable of spraying (w/hose) up to 300' RADIUS. But I have also heard 150' and 200' RADIUS is required. Which one is right for a power plant environment? Or could someone point me in the right direction (NFPA 850)?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
