This is my system. I engineered it and installed it.

The design, which triggered the foam on either a real or simulated fire sprinkler flow, was given to me by a consulting engineer.

I told him it was a bogus system, and was bound to go off accidently. Did he listen to me????

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!


Bwaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Two, count 'em, TWO 3000 gpm fire pumps emptied a 30,000 gallon water tank into the foam generators, making this mess!


I am vindicated! Oh, yes, sweetness on a stick!

No, I'm in no trouble. My system worked perfectly!

The system is designed to dump foam when a sprinkler system's flow switch is energized. A tech energized a flow switch to trip an automatic door relay and BLAMMO!

At least 4 people on hand failed to follow their training and hit the ABORT buttons.

No one was hurt, so I can laugh about this. It really is a fiasco of the first water... er, foam.

my first thoughts was that sure was a expensive mistake, wonder who will get the bill, the company the technicians work(ed) for or the property owner.

I agree with you Deep, after working in the fire sprinkler business myself a few years back, it looks like it worked the way it was designed. (I would have been the tech testing the system)
