Understanding Wet and Dry Fire Systems:

A wet fire systems consists of; Automatic Sprinkler Systems, Wet and Dry Hydrant Systems and Fire Hoose Reels. These systems are called wet systems because water is primary source of wetting the surface and bringing down the temperature of burning building elements. In contracts, though the Dry Systems seems the system without water, which is true in American terminology of fire services but in Australia, dry system is considered the systems which consists of detectors (heat, smoke and flame) smoke alarms, occupant waring, warden Intecom and communication to fire station or dispatch stations. AS 2118, FPAA 101D, AS 2419, AS 3786 and AS 1670 are the blueprints, guiding us to design these systems effectively.

Wet System Mastery (AS 2118 and AS 2419):

Wet fire sprinkler systems are like guardians for buildings. They shower them with water when there’s danger. AS 2118 teaches us how to design, install and maintain these important water pipe sprinklers. With AS 2419, we learn how to connect them to fire hydrants for a steady supply of water when needed most. Together, these standards help create a simple and effective fire safety solution for buildings.

Dry System Wizardry (AS 1670):

Dry systems are equally important for early detection of fire and help the occupant evacuate the building in case of emergency. AS 1670 and AS 3786 play a crucial role in guiding us on designing, installation, testing and commissioning of the systems which create an early warning to alarm the occupant of building.
