subject: Dry Riser From Ukdryrisers.co.uk [print this page] Fire suppression within a building incorporating a dry riser system
Modern buildings have a number of fire safety systems in operation and a dry riser is just one example of the type of fire safety equipment that can be fitted within a structure. A dry riser is basically a pipe that runs from the ground floor of a building to the upper levels. It has an inlet valve at the ground level which the fire service can connect their pump truck to and a landing valve at each subsequent floor where fire fighters can connect their hoses. On a day to day basis the dry riser pipe remains dry and its only when a water supply is introduced to them that dry risers become operational.
