In illustration D039SA below, which Fire Control Plan symbol represents an emergency fire pump?
• Fire control plan symbols for pumps and hydrants • Difference between a main fire pump and an emergency fire pump on symbols • How lettering such as P, F, or E is used to modify a basic symbol
• Compare all numbered symbols in the choices to other pump-related symbols on the sheet; which one clearly indicates a pump used for fire-fighting? • Look at how the symbol for a regular fire pump or hydrant is drawn, then see which choice adds an element that would indicate it is the emergency backup. • Check whether any of the options appear again elsewhere on the sheet together with letters like P or F that might show it is a pump or a valve rather than something else.
• Identify the basic pump symbol on this sheet, then see which option adds an emergency indicator to that same shape. • Make sure you are not confusing a valve symbol (which usually shows flow being stopped or controlled) with a pump symbol (which shows flow being driven). • Verify that your chosen symbol is NOT used elsewhere to indicate hoses, reels, or other equipment; it should be clearly associated with pumping.
