Example devices, systems, and methods disclosed herein relate to a controller configured to control pressure maintenance in a fire protection system. A controller may be configured to control a fire pump to provide a first level of water pressure and to control operation of a jockey pump that is coupled in parallel with the fire pump to provide a second level of water pressure that is less than the first level. The controller is further configured to receive, from a pressure sensor coupled to the fire protection system, an output representative of the water pressure. The controller is configured to provide instructions to initiate the jockey pump based on a pressure value associated with the output being below a first value, and to provide instructions to initiate the fire pump based on the pressure value being below a second value that is less than the first value.

A fire-fighting system includes a pump, a nozzle for directing fluid flow from the pump to a target area, a discharge valve controlling fluid flow between the pump and the nozzle, a sensor coupled to the nozzle, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The sensor detects movement of the nozzle and generates a signal indicative of the detected movement. The controller communicatively coupled is configured to receive the signal from the sensor, and control at least one of the discharge valve, the pump, and the nozzle based on the detected movement of the nozzle.

A method of operating a suppression system includes opening a discharge valve associated with a pressurized vessel containing suppression agent in response to detection of a hazardous condition within an area being monitored, releasing suppression agent into the area being monitored via a discharge nozzle, and detecting that the hazardous condition is no longer present in the area being monitored. The discharge valve is closed by the actuator in response to detecting that the hazardous condition is no longer present in the area being monitored.

A manual activation system includes a pulley movable between an inactive position and an active position, a tension member wrapped about the pulley, the tension member having a tensile force acting on the pulley, and at least one arm rotatably mounted adjacent to the pulley. The at least one arm has a groove configured to cooperate with a portion of the pulley to selectively oppose the tensile force.

An apparatus is disclosed for extinguishing a stovetop fire over a stovetop having a first burner, the apparatus including a container detachably mountable to a microwave positioned above the stove top. A supply of fire suppressant material is retained within the container. A heat responsive actuator is disposed on the container. When the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire actuates the heat responsive actuator, at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material falls from the container toward the first burner.

A system includes an emergency response vehicle transitionable between a motive state and a non-motive state and a tool. The tool includes an identifier and is configured to be removably secured to the emergency response vehicle. The system further includes a scanner coupled to the emergency response vehicle and operable to identify the identifier when the tool is secured to the emergency response vehicle. A control module is communicatively coupled to the scanner and includes a processor and a memory storing instructions which cause the processor to determine that the emergency response vehicle has transitioned between the motive state and the non-motive state, and, in response to determining that the emergency response vehicle has transitioned between the motive state and the non-motive state, cause the scanner to scan the emergency response vehicle for the identifier to determine whether the tool is secured to the emergency response vehicle.

A method of designing a fire detection system including: determining a location of one or more fire detection devices within the building; and generating a map that displays the location of one or more fire detection device.

A battery pack includes at least two battery modules arranged in one direction; and a fire extinguishing unit extinguisher having a fire extinguishing tank configured to contain a fire extinguishing agent therein, a pipe connected to the fire extinguishing tank to supply the fire extinguishing agent from the fire extinguishing tank to each of the at least two battery modules, a flow rate adjuster provided to the pipe and configured to adjust a feed flow rate of the fire extinguishing agent to be constant, and at least one valve configured to supply the fire extinguishing agent from the fire extinguishing tank to the battery module having an internal temperature rising over a predetermined temperature.
