Fire Flow per the IFC is one area of fire protection engineering way too often overlooked, misunderstood or just plain ignored. Let me know if you have any other questions. Craig L.

There are more than a half dozen methods that are used. Once you find the method to be used, you will use the calculation methodology prescribed within. Of the different methods, the results can vary dramatically. Call the AHJ. If they say they don't know and don't' care, Appendix B of the IFC is the simplest method. But other methods may be more favorable from a water supply standpoint depending on the type of facility you have. Some don't care if the facility is sprinklered or not, others allow a reduction in fire flow if the bldg. is sprinklered. Craig L.
