Fire Pump ITM Workshop

AFSA’s Fire Pump ITM Workshop is designed to provide ITM technicians, Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), and facilities managers with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills related to fire pump installations and the necessary ITM procedures. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the key differences between diesel and electric-driven fire pumps, engage in hands-on exercises to perform no-flow and full-flow fire pump tests and learn the ITM requirements for water storage tanks. Hands-on activities, including energy diffuser selection, data acquisition, supply graphing, and data interpretation, will help participants solidify their understanding of stationary fire pumps for fire protection.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. Explain codes, standards, and the roles and responsibilities of the parties involved in the inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems.
2. Comparing and contrasting the components of different types of water-based fire protection systems.
3. Identify the operation and required NFPA 25 periodic inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements for common components, sprinkler systems,  wet systems, and dry systems in water-based fire protection systems.
4. Execute the NFPA 25 requirements for the no-flow testing of fire pumps
