The History of Fire Pumps
By Steven Redden
The history of fire pumps is a fascinating journey through time, showcasing human ingenuity and the evolution of technology in the face of disaster.
Fire pumps have been instrumental in the history of firefighting, revolutionizing the way fires are extinguished and controlled. From ancient civilizations to modern times, the development and evolution of fire pump technology have played a crucial role in combating fires and protecting lives and property. This article delves into the fascinating history of fire pumps, exploring the early firefighting methods that necessitated their invention, the innovative developments of the first fire pumps, and how these devices have transformed firefighting practices over the centuries. Join us on a journey through time to uncover the significance and impact of fire pumps in the realm of fire safety and emergency response.
One of the earliest recorded instances of a fire pump being utilized dates back to ancient Rome. In the first century AD, Romans, who were known as “vigiles,” used a hand-operated pump called a “siphon” to draw water from aqueducts and extinguish fires. These pumps, crafted from bronze, featured a cylinder with a piston that could propel water through a hose onto the flames. Typically mounted on carts and pulled by horses, these early fire pumps were swiftly transported to fire sites. These pumps played a crucial role in managing fires in the densely populated city, often working alongside other firefighting tools like buckets and ladders. However, as time progressed, hand pumps were found to be limited in range and capacity. The Greeks and Romans began utilizing rudimentary pumps with wheels, buckets, or simple hand-operated mechanisms.
A notable advancement in fire pump technology came in the 3rd century BCE with the invention of the Ctesibius pump by Greek inventor Ctesibius. This pump introduced a piston and cylinder mecha-
nism, marking a significant technological advancement for its time.
During the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, fire fighting techniques were rudimentary, typically relying on the manual passing of buckets of water. However, as the Renaissance era progressed, more advanced pumping devices emerged. A significant development occurred in 1518 within the Holy Roman Empire with the invention of a manual fire pump. This innovative device enabled firefighters to direct a powerful stream of water directly onto a fire, marking a substantial improvement over the previous method of using buckets.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, there were remarkable advancements in fire pump technology. In 1657, Dutch inventor Jan Van der Heiden and his son revolutionized firefighting by creating a flexible hose that could be connected to a fire pump. This innovation greatly enhanced the mobility and range of water streams, making it easier to combat fires. Additionally, the introduction of
the Newsham Fire Pump in early 18th century England set a new standard for firefighting in the country. Although these pumps were still operated manually, they were significantly more efficient than previous models.
The 19th century was a time of significant innovation in firefighting technology, marked by the introduction of steam-powered fire pumps. These engines, which first emerged in the early 1800s, revolutionized firefighting efforts by enabling the pumping of water at higher pressures and volumes. Pioneered by companies such as Merryweather & Sons in England and Ahrens-Fox in the United States, steam fire engines played a crucial role in enhancing fire suppression capabilities. Additionally, the invention of the centrifugal pump in the 19th century further advanced firefighting techniques. These pumps, known for their efficiency in moving water and ease of operation by a single individual, became indispensable tools for fire departments worldwide.
Typically powered by gasoline engines, centrifugal pumps remained in use well
into the 20th century. Moreover, the 19th century witnessed the establishment of the first municipal fire services staffed by trained firefighters. This development
marked a significant shift in firefighting practices, as professionalized firefighting units became increasingly common. Overall, the 19th century was a transformative period in the history of firefighting, characterized by technological advancements and the professionalization of fire services.
During the early 20th century, A major breakthrough in the field of firefighting technology took place with the development of gasoline-powered fire pumps. These pumps provided firefighters with increased mobility and flexibility when battling fires. Unlike their steam-powered counterparts, gasoline-powered pumps were highly portable and could easily be transported to remote fire scenes. Not only were these pumps more maneuverable, but they also had higher capacities and could deliver water at even greater pressures, making them incredibly effective at controlling fires.
Also there was the introduction of the internal combustion engine brought about another transformation in fire pump technology. Motor-driven fire pumps replaced steam engines, offering improved reliability, ease of operation, and faster response times. Additionally, the 20th century saw the emergence of
high-pressure pumps, the utilization of foam and chemical fire suppressants, and the widespread installation of hydrants, all of which enhanced firefighting capabilities.
Innovations continued with the invention of the fire truck in the early 20th century, revolutionizing firefighting once again. Equipped with powerful pumps capable of delivering water at high pressure, fire trucks enabled firefighters to swiftly and efficiently extinguish fires. These pumps, often powered by internal combustion engines, could be operated from a stationary position or while on the move, further enhancing firefighting efforts.
Today, fire pumps have evolved into highly sophisticated pieces of technology. Modern fire pumps are now powered by gasoline engines, electric motors, hydraulic systems and diesel-powered fire pumps. Electric and diesel-powered fire pumps, which are more efficient and versatile than their predecessors. Electric fire pumps are particularly well-suited for indoor firefighting situations, such as in high-rise buildings,
as they produce no emissions and operate quietly compared to gasoline or diesel-powered pumps. On the other hand, diesel-powered pumps are ideal for outdoor firefighting scenarios due to their increased power and longer operational periods without the need for refueling. These advanced pumps can deliver water at higher pressures and flow rates, enabling firefighters to swiftly and effectively extinguish fires. Equipped with automatic controls, backup power systems, and cutting-edge materials, fire pumps are an essential component of building safety systems, ensuring reliability and efficiency in firefighting operations.
The history of fire pumps serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation in the ongoing battle against the destructive force of fire. Modern fire pumps are capable of adjusting water pressure and flow to meet the specific needs of a fire, making them adaptable to a wide range of environments, from urban skyscrapers to rural areas.
Fire pumps are essential for maintaining safety and protecting property in the event of a fire. Just like any other piece of equipment, fire pumps require regular maintenance to ensure they are in optimal working condition. This not only guarantees their reliability during emergencies but also extends their lifespan. Regular maintenance tasks for fire pumps include checking for leaks, testing perfor-
mance, and replacing worn-out parts. By staying on top of these tasks, fire pumps can be kept ready for action at all times. In addition to maintenance, proper training is crucial for those operating fire pumps. Firefighters and personnel must undergo thorough training to operate these pumps safely and effectively. This includes understanding how to control water flow, maintain pressure, and troubleshoot common issues. Following safety guidelines and protocols is essential to prevent accidents and ensure successful use during emergencies.
Modern fire pumps have made significant advancements since the days of manual cranking. Technology now plays a crucial role in their design, making them more intelligent and responsive. Features such as digital control panels for performance monitoring and remote monitoring capabilities have transformed the way fire pumps function and react to emergencies.
The evolution of fire pump technology highlights the progress that has greatly improved firefighting capabilities over time. From simple beginnings to the complex systems in use today, fire pumps have been vital tools in the ongoing battle against fires. Reflecting on this evolution emphasizes the importance of innovation and readiness in protecting our communities from the destructive effects of fires. The evolution of fire pumps serves as a testament to human creativity and the enduring fight against fire. Starting with basic hand pumps and progressing to advanced, computerized systems, fire pumps have played a critical role in saving countless lives and properties. This advancement demonstrates centuries of technological progress and inventive solutions in the field of fire safety.

NFPA 13 – 2022. UPDATES YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT!
By Dr. Paul D. Flannigan
Most of us are probably still using the 2019 edition of NFPA 13. Just a reminder to those who may not specifically deal with sprinklers, NFPA 13 is the Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. For some background, NFPA updates their standards every three years (for the most part). Previous recent editions of NFPA 13 were published in 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, and now 2022. Also, related water-based standards such as NFPA 14, 20, 25, and others follow the same sequence as 13. Although NFPA follows a 3-year cycle on updating standards, the adoption of those standards may follow a 6-year or longer cycle for adoption by authorities. This helps avoid too many frequent changes in building and related codes. As first mentioned, you are probably still using the 2019 edition of NFPA 13. Although the 2022 edition is available, it is likely the next adopted edition will probably be the 2025 edition. However, it is always good to know what updates are occurring as they may be advantageous for you to use the newer standard, on the whole, for design and installation. Authorities generally have no opposition to using new standards, but you cannot “cherry-pick” what you want to use. Also, the biggest concern with using a new standard on the whole is that the jurisdiction typically has amendments to standards, and they will not have written them for new editions. But learning new information, none-the-less, is always good.
The new edition of NFPA 13 has a great many changes and updates. It would be impossible to write about all of them in a brief article, so this treatment will identify what I think, and others, are updates and new items that will impact what you do more frequently. NFPA identified that changes in the standard included modified and new definitions so be careful to double check specific definitions that may influence the work you are doing. Chapter 4 has changes in the delineations of miscellaneous and low-piled storage. Many times, we revert to miscellaneous storage (a combination of various classifications of commodities) not exceeding a storage height of 12 feet, for a design strategy. What may have been considered strictly miscellaneous storage previously could now be considered low-piled storage, Class I – IV or Plastics, under the revised criteria.
Probably one of the most significant changes is the single point density design options. The design/ area density curves have been deleted for new designs, however, can still be used for modifying existing systems. The new density/area table appears as shown below. On some occasions in the past, you may have used a lower density, lower end head pressure, and larger design area to your advantage. But that option will no longer be available.
Everyone will be delighted that the requirement for a full-building cross-section has been removed from the 2022 edition. However, you are not totally in the clear. Building construction details are required to be noted on the drawings. Also, we generally indicate lights, diffusers, speakers, and other ceiling devices to facilitate coordination, although not specifically required. The 2022 edition now requires those things to be located on sprinkler plans. These items would be found in Chapter 28, Working Plans. This next one is probably a bit of a pain as the 2022 edition now requires owner information, the information that is included on the Owner’s Certificate, to be included on the drawings. Get prepared to include a new detail box. Maybe you can switch out the cross-section detail location for the Owner’s Certificate.
Although we include legends on the sprinkler plans for sprinkler heads with the manufacturer, type, SIN, temperature, orifice, etc., now the 2022 edition, Chapter 28, requires details on flexible drops to include standard data as well as the bend radius and the maximum number of bends.
Storage requirements seem to have always been a challenge, taking time to check and re-check to make sure the selected design criteria are appropriate for the hazard being protected. Chapter 20 on general storage protection requirements has been revised. New ESFR requirements have been included in Chapter 23. Chapter 25 on in-rack sprinkler protection has been rewritten entirely. Chapter 26 on special designs for storage has several changes. There are also additions and revisions on the supervision of dry pipe valves, nitrogen generators, obstructions, and freeze protections.
Although each edition of NFPA 13 published is characterized as new and improved, undergoing reorganization, with this edition having a philosophical change with the basis of design, there still remain some usability issues. The standard has grown so much it requires great care and time to make sure the design criteria you select is correct when you venture from a sprinkler system for an office or school. Read, re-read, check, re-check, and document your design criteria. And make sure your drawings reflect the requirements of NFPA 13, working plan criteria.

Electronic Smoke, Heat & CO Detector Tester
Testifire is a multicriteria detector tester that allows for fast and efficient testing of both single and multi-sensor detectors.
• Choose Testifire 1001 for testing heat and smoke or Testifire 2001 for smoke, heat & CO
• Fully programmable to carry out single, simultaneous, or combined test cycles
Electronic Smoke Detector Tester
Solo 365 uses non-hazardous, non-pressurized, environmentally-friendly cartridges for smoke generation.
• Automatic LED light for testing in dimly lit areas
• Faster detector clearing and activation
• Flexible and slim design with a transparent test cup
TESTING ASD SYSTEMS WITH THE SOLO 365
The Solo 365 Electronic Smoke Detector Tester is lighter to use, quicker to test, and suitable for more applications. It’s supplied with a clear test cup, which is ideal for testing point type smoke detector testers. The clear cup is easily removable and can be replaced with a fitted ASD adapter, putting the ability to test both standard point type smoke detectors and ASD systems into one portable tester. With the ASD adapter, an ASD System can be tested by using the ‘Delayed Start Mode.’
INSTALLING THE ASD ADAPTER
Ensure Solo 365 is powered off.
With the Solo 365 facing you, remove the cup by aligning the notch on the left hand side arm and disengage by squeezing the cup, gently easing the cup away from the arm.
Rotate the cup to free it from the other arm.
Fit the ASD adaptor by locking it into both arms. Ensure that the fan symbol is located on the side of the unit where smoke is emitted. (LHS when unit is facing the user).
TESTING WITH THE ASD ADAPTER
Power on the Solo 365.
Select the ‘Delayed Start Mode’ by pressing the ‘function button’ for one second – the status LEDs will flash orange.
Within 20 seconds, ensure that the Solo 365 is located over the sampling hole on the aspirating pipe to carry out the test.
Smoke will automatically be generated for 20 seconds, indicated by the status LEDs flashing blue.
