B. Various types of portable fire extinguishers are <br /> strategically located throughout the facility to <br /> fight the types of incipient fire He. A, B or C <br /> type) most likely to occur in those areas. <br /> C. The plant's main fire well-pump can be powered by a <br /> diesel generator set to supply the required flow of <br /> water at a minimum pressure of 65 psig to the fire <br /> hydrants, foam extinguishing systems, or automatic <br /> sprinkler systems. <br /> In event of an incipient fire ( ie. waste basket fire), <br /> all employees will be trained to use portable <br /> extinguishing equipment. If the fire cannot be <br /> contained with the portable extinguishing equipment, a <br /> general alarm will be actuated to alert all plant <br /> personnel and the local fire department. The fire pump <br /> is designed to start up automatically on low pressure <br /> and to deliver an estimated flowrate of 1,000 gpm to the <br /> fire water mains. Water for domestic and service uses <br /> will be delivered by a small jockey pump. <br /> The fire protection system is designed based on a single <br /> postulated fire at any one time. It is assumed that a <br /> fire will be confined to the fire area where the fire <br /> originated, by using automatic system and/or manual fire <br /> hoses available to that fire area. <br /> All equipment used for the fire protection system will <br /> be standard equipment conforming to the requirements <br /> specified by NFPA. Mechanical and electrical equipment <br /> used will be UL approved for fire protection services, <br /> as required by NFPA. <br /> The major fire areas of the facility are as follows: <br /> A. Resource Recovery Area <br /> The resource recovery area will have oil tanks, a diesel <br /> fuel tank and oil processing equipment. The tanks will <br /> be protected by foam extinguishing systems. In <br /> addition, the perimeter of the tank farm will be <br /> protected by fire hydrants, located at no more than 250 <br /> foot intervals, equipped with hoses and nozzles. <br /> Portable fire extinguishers will be located within each <br /> area required for fighting incipient fires. <br /> B. Briquette Storage Building <br /> The briquette storage building will contain the product <br /> briquette pile. This building will be protected by an <br /> automatic sprinkler system (or equivalent). The <br /> perimeter of the building will be protected by fire <br /> 16 <br />
