A fire pump is a part of a fire sprinkler system's water supply and can be powered by electricity, diesel or steam. The pump intake is either connected to the public underground water supply piping, or a static water source (e.g. tank, reservoir, lake). The pump provides water flow at a higher pressure to the sprinkler system risers and hose stand pipes. A fire pump is tested and listed for its use specifically for fire service(by a third-party testing and listing agency if required).
