If I did it right (this is the first time I've ever used Dropbox) using the link below you
should be able to download the fire pump tutorial. I hope this works.
The tutorial was created by a long-time friend of 37 years that knew his stuff when it came to anything having to do with a fire pump.
What do you would do is every three or four years he would put together a free week long class open to all interested Fire Marshal's and inspectors within the state.
A side note here, my arm is still broken so I'm using a voice to text utility so what I might say could well come out looking a little strange but bear with me on it.
The venue was a large state owned institution with around 20 fire pumps of all different makes sizes and types. What they would do is break into four or five smaller groups and make the rounds during the annual fire pump test free to the institution and exchange for being able to use the venue.
About half the week was spent in a classroom environment while the other half of the week was all hands on training.
For the inspectors it was all hands on they did it themselves, set up the play pipes, used the pitot tubes to take their own readings checking everything out as they went along. By the end of the week these guys knew what they were looking at and a fire pump installer was not going to pull the wool over their eyes. But always crack me up was the first thing the inspectors would ask to see was a certification on the test gauges and if they weren't available the test was ended right there. This caught a lot of out-of-state companies with their pants down looking a little foolish.
Unfortunately my friend passed away two years ago and I am posting this in his memory. He was one heck of a pump guy.
