Water-based fire protection systems are frequently required to protect the people and assets that occupy buildings.  The success (or failure) of a fire protection system to control a fire may depend on the adequacy of the water supply.  This course describes some of the essential engineering considerations that should be incorporated into the design of fire protection water supplies.
