Technical guides
Explore the fire systems and project topics covered by the FSP network. These guides help frame an enquiry; the requirements and design decisions for a particular building need professional assessment.
SYSTEM GUIDES

the building blocks.
Explore the fire protection systems in FSP Network’s existing technical library. The guides support an informed conversation with the relevant project professionals.
Sprinkler systems
An automatic sprinkler system brings together a water supply, distribution pipework and sprinkler equipment. Its design needs to be considered alongside the building layout, intended use and wider fire safety strategy.
Explore the guide SYSTEM / 02Detection & alarms
Fire detection and alarm systems bring together detection devices, control equipment and warning functions. The design needs to account for how the building is used and how the system connects with other services.
Explore the guide SYSTEM / 03Hydrant systems
Fire hydrant systems provide facilities for firefighting operations. Design decisions involve the building, water supply, equipment and access arrangements, rather than a single floor-area rule.
Explore the guide SYSTEM / 04Hose reel systems
Hose reel design needs to consider the building layout, intended use and relevant project requirements. It should be coordinated with the other fire services rather than treated as an isolated equipment placement exercise.
Explore the guide SYSTEM / 05Occupant warning
Occupant warning systems form part of a building’s emergency communication arrangements. Their design needs a clear brief about the building, its occupants and the connections with other fire systems.
Explore the guide SYSTEM / 06Fire extinguishers
Portable fire equipment needs to be selected and located for the building and its hazards. FSP Network can help you discuss the design and installation scope with the relevant practitioner or installer.
Explore the guide SYSTEM / 07Emergency lighting
Emergency lighting and exit signs support the identification of exit routes during an emergency. Their design needs to reflect the building layout and the relevant project requirements.
