Fire Fighting Design

In what country?

What size of building?

To what set of local Building Regulations is the building to be constructed?

In Saudi Arabia, just want to know what are those basic things to consider and steps in doing it. A million thanks

Then the first step is to obtain a copy of the relevant Building Regulations for Saudi Arabia, and read the section on fire protection.

Sir can you please elaborate on what are those next step to do, if you dont mind? A million thanks.

I agree with PWslack's approach from a regulation-oriented perspective as Fire Protection standards are stipulated by governing bodies. However, i'd like to add that the two major components of any Fire Protection system are: 1. Detection- refers to thermal sensing systems that initiate an electromechanical signal. Things to consider are the types of thermal sensors e.g. Bimetallic Snap-action sensors that are suited for specific temprature alerts or Rate-of-rise sensors that are suited for applications where it is imperative to send an alert asap without necessarily reaching a set temp. An example of latter would be areas with flammables e.g. gas stations where a sudden spike in temperature is a more important variable than the eventual high temprature. 2. Suppression - refer to extinguishing systems that are activated by alerts from the detection system. The type of fire dictates the type of suppression to be used. Electrical and accelerant fires cannot be extinguished with water, but with wet chemicals or powder or carbon dioxide systems. Hope this helps
