Answer 57

4. A5.1.5 In the case of a sprinkler system where a small number of sprinkler heads have fused due to heat requiring the shut down of the OS&Y valve; consider replacing these heads in order to restore the system to service. FDNY members should only perform this action if the occupancy has the required heads in a metal cabinet with the appropriate sprinkler wrench and the safety of our members would not be compromised. If there is any doubt that the replacement sprinkler heads are not the correct type for the system, do not replace the heads. If heads are replaced by the FDNY the administrative unit should be directed to follow up on the status of the system during business hours and apply the procedures in section 4 if needed. The FDNY does not replace sprinkler heads in compactor chutes, shafts, or other unsafe areas as determined by the Incident Commander (IC). Additionally, the FDNY does not typically replace sprinkler heads if the owner, impairment coordinator, or responsible building staff is available; the replacement of these heads is there responsibility. However, if the responsible party is present, but not capable of performing the replacement procedure, the Battalion Chief can consider replacement within the confines of the safety standards established above. Lastly, the replacement of sprinkler heads can only be ordered by a Battalion Chief or above.
