Q

What is the firefighting formula for a house that’s 60x20? The Needed Fire Flow (NFF)
and give examples for exposure protection

A

P17
FF = length x width / 3
(60x20) / 3 = 400 Gallons per minute (gpm)
100% involvement= 400 gpm
50% involvement= 200gpm
2 floors involved would equal 400x 2= 800gpm
25% for each exposure and up to a maximum of 5 exposures
25%= 100gpm
