Water required for fire fighting is usually known as fire demand . Rate of fire demand is treated as a function of population and is worked out on the basis of empirical formula as follow-
|
where ,
Q = Amount of water required in liters/minute
P = Population in thousand
|
where
Q = Amount of water required in liters/minute
P = Population in thousand
F = number of simultaneous fire streams
(1) Where Population < 200000
|
(2) Where Population > 200000
For First Fire(lit/minute) For Second Fire(lit/minute) Q=9100 to 36400 |
No. | Type of Building | Amount of Water Required (Q) |
---|---|---|
1. | Small or Low Buildings | Q=2200 lit/minute |
2. | Larger or higher buildings | Q=4500 lit/minute |
3. | Apartment, High Value Residences,Tenements | Q=7650 to 13500 lit/minute |
4. | Three Storeyed Buildings in Density Builtup Sections | Q=27000 lit/minute |
|
where
Q = Amount of water required in liters/minute
P = Population in thousand
The above formulae for water demand donot take into account the frequency of fire may occur.It may be determined from the following expression :-
|
where
t = Duration of fire in minutes
T =Period of occurance of fire in years
Note:- The recommended minimum values for the above formula are t=30minutes, T = 1 year
