Buffalo, Rochester & Syracuse Fire Pumps
The fire pump pulls water from the community or is connected to its own water supply source such as a lake, reservoir, or water tank. Fire pumps are generally operated with electric diesel or steam. The pumps main purpose is to provide the correct water pressure and supply needed for the fire protection system to operate and function properly. The fire pump provides water to the fire protection system standpipes and the fire sprinkler risers.
