PREFACE
The First Edition of this Manual was issued by the Calcutta Fire Insurance
Association in 1906 and was brought up-to-date and re-issued in 1930. The
third, fourth and fifth Editions were published jointly by the Insurance
Associations of India and Pakistan in 1948, 1950 and 1953 respectively to
provide for the needs of the whole of the areas controlled by these
Associations. The subsequent sixth, seventh and eighth Editions were
published by the Fire Sectional Committees of Calcutta, Bombay, Delhi and
Madras Regional Councils of the Insurance Associations of India. In the
ninth Edition published in 1982, amendments and additions were effected to
bring the provisions in line with current thinking on fire protection
techniques and to encourage installation of fixed fire extinguishing
appliances/alarm systems in relatively low hazard risks on the one hand and
tighten requirements for design of systems suitable for high hazard risks
such as Petroleum Refineries, Petrochemical and Fertiliser Plants on the
other hand, which, world-wide experience has indicated, need copious
quantities of water and other extinguishing media. In this tenth Edition an
effort has been made to further update and streamline the regulations.
The Manual should prove of value to factory owners and their technical
personnel when dealing with matters relating to fire extinguishing
appliances and also constitute a handy book of reference to Insurance
officials.
The Manual initially deals with portable appliances and small bore hose
reels, which are considered as first-aid appliances. The regulations
regarding trailer pumps are covered next. The last part is devoted to fixed
external protection in the form of a hydrant system which is considered the
backbone of the entire fire-fighting operations as it fights fires of serious
proportions in all classes of risks and continues to do so even in the event of
a collapse of the buildings/structures protected. High-rise buildings which
have become a common feature of modern society present inherent fire
hazard as fire brigades are often helpless in the face of fires in such
structures and are unable to save human lives and fight fires effectively
with traditional methods. A separate section has, therefore, been devoted for
prescribing the specialised type of protection required by these structures.
In case it is desired to install any appliances, which are not covered by this
manual, assistance and advice may be obtained from the inspection staff
maintained by the Regional Offices.

7. HYDRANT SERVICE -
Installation of Hand Appliances as per the Committee’s Regulations is
a prerequisite for any occupancy, other than storage occupancy, to be
entitled to allowance for this system.
7.1 GENERAL -
7.1.1 A well designed and well laid hydrant service is the backbone of
the entire fire fighting equipment as it fights fires of serious
proportions in all classes of risks and continues to be in full
operation even if part(s) of affected buildings and/or structures
have collapsed, and also keeps cool all adjoining properties,
thereby minimising the exposure hazards.
7.2.07As the water supply, pumping capacity and other features of the
hydrant system depend not only on the size of the risk but also on
its fire growth and spread potentialities, the risks are to be
categorised under the following classes for the purpose of
hydrant system design:
