Typical Plumbing engineer. "4 places to drain water"
How about the Backflow preventor? And have you ever heard of a 2" MAIN DRAIN test? Or the "System demand test of the BFP? And while he talks about this magic fire pump, what about all of that test or (Diesel Relief) water?

I guess they just couldn't find someone qualified in both drainage (Plumbing) and Fire sprinklers, to write the article. But of course now that it's been in the magazine, "It Must Be True" at least to the several thousand subscribers.

Maybe AFSA (Roland) could offer to proof read articles for the engineering trade journals, so they at least don't miss or "under-inform" their readers. It's not like this is the first time. I'd volunteer to do it, but then I'm just a Tech. and Roland has those well earned, letter's after his name, and others with the same, seen to listen to people with the same type of history and simular education.
