"they were also available for fire fighting purposes which probably made their insurance company happy."
QUOTE spider.
I'm just wondering what F M (Factory Mutual) would think of the above!
Water reservoirs for industrial process and fire protection are unlikley to be combined, in that when the latter shows "Flow",
the Boys in the Red Trucks are on their way. Any time a fire system is "off line" the F D and formerly the insurance company
must/had to be made aware, as well as the inclusion of an hourly fire watch - 24 - 7 until back "on line". The use of a dualized
system, especially during days gone past, would drive everyone to drink, and I am not refering to water! F M would require a
Telegram being sent which would legally confirm the actions, while the local F D a 'phone call after both a "dump & refill" should
and continues as common practice.
BTW, insurance companies & Fire Departments are never "happy"; "satisfied" maybe, but never "happy". That just the way they are.
