Large public events, such as festivals, outdoor concerts, and sporting events, often occur in temporary or open-air settings that lack the built-in fire safety infrastructure of permanent venues. Fire pumps are crucial for providing water pressure to portable fire suppression systems, such as temporary sprinklers, hydrants, or foam systems. Jockey pumps help maintain consistent pressure, ensuring that the system is ready to respond quickly to any fire emergencies. In these temporary setups, fire pumps may need to draw water from nearby reservoirs, lakes, or portable water tanks, requiring flexibility and adaptability in their design. Since large crowds can complicate evacuation efforts, fire pumps play a vital role in controlling fires quickly and limiting their spread, minimizing risks to attendees. Event organizers must coordinate with fire safety professionals to ensure that fire pumps are properly set up, tested, and maintained throughout the duration of the event. Furthermore, regular safety drills and the presence of trained staff on-site help ensure that fire protection systems, including pumps, are ready to function effectively in emergency situations.

Fire pumps and jockey pumps work together to ensure that a fire protection system is always ready to operate at peak efficiency. The jockey pump is primarily responsible for maintaining the system’s normal pressure, compensating for minor leaks, and preventing the fire pump from running unnecessarily. When a fire occurs, and a significant drop in pressure is detected due to water discharge from sprinklers or hoses, the fire pump is activated to provide the necessary water flow and pressure. This interaction ensures that the system operates efficiently, minimizing wear and tear on the fire pump while keeping the system primed and ready for an emergency.

Safety precautions include wearing appropriate protective gear, ensuring proper ventilation when operating gasoline or diesel-powered pumps indoors, following proper procedures for fueling and starting the pump, and maintaining a safe distance from flames and hazardous materials.

In smart buildings, the latest trends in fire pump technology focus on integrating advanced sensors, IoT (Internet of Things) capabilities, and data analytics to enhance system performance and reliability. Smart fire pumps can communicate with building management systems (BMS) to provide real-time data on pump status, water flow, pressure, and other key parameters. This data can be used for predictive maintenance, alerting operators to potential issues before they become critical. Additionally, smart pumps can adjust their operation based on real-time conditions, optimizing energy use and ensuring the most efficient response during a fire emergency. These technologies enhance safety and align with the broader trend toward more intelligent, automated, and energy-efficient building systems.

A fire pump is part of the water supply for a fire sprinkler system and is powered by electricity, diesel or steam. It uses water from an external source to increase water flow and pressure. The pump inlet is either connected to a public groundwater supply line or to a static water source. The pump provides higher pressure water flow to the sprinkler system risers and hose risers. Fire pumps must be tested monthly and annually to ensure they are operating as designed. These two different tests are called the monthly “churn” test and the annual flow test.
