I'm gonna' guess that your "experience" with "firefighting" extends as far as the curb you were sitting on during the last Memorial Day Parade as the shiny fire trucks drove by...

Hmmmmm.

Contradiction.

Conflict.

Matt says one thing.

Matt is an esteemed member of USPOL.

Maat says something different.

Maat has proven he's afraid of direct questions, and he whines a lot when asked to explain his "experience".

Hmmm... Who to believe?

Sorry, no. You're describing a dry pipe system.

Yet again, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Yes, they do use fake smoke in an aerosol can, in order to test smoke detectors. And yes, flame detectors pick up on invisible ions so need a different can.

But the part you did not answer is the fact smoke in a can leaves dust on the sensor, that has to be cleared with a shot of compressed gas.

Educate yourself, so you don't say anything (else) embarassing to yourself.

No shit, Sherlock. Do you think I, who has done these tests, am unaware of this?

Again, since I've answered your questions, can you answer mine? What is your fire service experience? I answered your question, the honest thing to do would be to answer mine.

Matt

Firefighting standpipes are for getting water up the side of a building, so do not need a drain, and I have never seen one with a drain yet.
They do not need drains.

The difference between a wet pipe and a dry pipe is whether or not it is permanently hooked directly to a water system or not.
A dry pipe is no, and has to be hooked up to the fire truck.
With a wet pipe, all you have to do is turn it on.

Systems that are already filled with water, are not called standpipes, but sprinkler systems.

This is almost too funny.

Maat's gone from using this:

Bullshit.

I'm done, Maat222.

I've posted links that refute your claims.

I've answered your questions.

You've chickened out and refused to answer mine.

Until you man up and extend the courtesy of answering questions (as you expect me to answer yours), conversing with you is a waste of time.

Matt

Wrong.
Sprinkler systems are usually pressurize with water, because you want them to spray locally whenever the thermo release at the sprinkler head gets too hot.
You don't want to rely on remote senors, valves or pumps.
And you don't want the water to come out anywhere except where is it hot.

But it is a sprinkler system filled with water that requires an air compressor, so that you can tell when the system has opened up somewhere, due to heat.

A dry pipe system would need electronic sensors that activated valves or pumps, and that is much less reliable and limited, because you is relies on electical connections and you get water out all the jets once turned on.

I didn't realize we were discussing firefighting systems in the ghetto.

Matt's right, though, you've chickened out more than once.

Respond to his query regarding your experience, or you're just going to be laughed at.

I mean laughed at more...

Actually I just looked this up, and I was wrong.
I was assuming there were just the wet types of sprinklers with thermo valves and water always ready to do, and the types that have open sprinklers with no water.
But it turns out the open sprinkler system is called a deluge system, and not dry.
The one with the air compressor is called a dry system, even though it is still partially wet and still has thermo valve sprinkler heads.

You did have this one right.

I'd be willing to bet that, if you were brave enough to look up everything else Matt has said, you'll find your failure rate skyrocketing.

Of course, the funniest part of all of this; well, there are many, really, is that you repeatedly spoke with an air of authority on the topic, and we all knew you were clueless.

Second, is that ypou continue to dodge Matt's request to describe your experience. He's been man enough to do that, and he is worthy of respect for that.

You...not so much...
