Explore water based, gaseous, foam based, and powder based firefighting systems. Includes sprinklers, hydrants, foam sprinkler systems, and dry chemical powders across various environments.
Explore the basics of fire extinguishers as portable active fire protection devices, and learn components and operating steps from safety pin and lever to aim at the base and sweep.
Identify hazards to guide extinguisher location and ensure accessible, visible placement per NFPA 10. Set mounting height by weight, keep bottom clearance, and plan travel distances by class.
Explore how NFPA 13 classifies occupancies by hazard—light, ordinary (groups 1–2), and extra (groups 1–2)—using content quantity, combustibility, heat release, stockpile height, and flammable liquids to guide sprinkler design.
Discover how automatic fire sprinkler systems work under NFPA 13, with heat-activated glass bulbs or fusible links, and open vs closed heads that discharge water.
Open Revit, convert the mechanical template to fire fighting by removing plumbing and creating fire wet and dry pipe layers; save as a reusable fire fighting template.
Link the architecture model into the firefighting template, copy and monitor levels and grids, and create floor plan and reflected ceiling plan views.
Create a space schedule for a school building by selecting spaces and adding level, name, number, and area parameters. Adjust sorting, headers, and totals, then export to pdf or print.
Create firefighting piping layouts by selecting ground-floor sprinklers and generating manual or automatic layouts, then set main and branch fire pipes with 11.5 ft offsets and view in 3D.
Size fire sprinkler piping in Revit for light hazard occupancy (school) using NFPA 13 schedules, select carbon steel pipe, and determine main and dropper diameters from 1 to 2.5 inches.
Implement the zone control valve assembly in Revit, integrating butterfly valve, flow switch, pressure gauge, and drain valve to control sprinkler feed from the fire water tank.
Learn to place and route standpipe components by loading fire hose cabinets, setting diameters and heights, and routing pipes across floors with copy and align tools.
Place the fire department connection on the exterior near the main entrance; understand wet and dry types and set a 2.5 in inlet at 30 in height in Revit.
Install the dry pipe valve for a dry pipe sprinkler system. Install the landing valve for a wet pipe system on each floor near fire hose cabinets.
learn how to place diesel, jockey, and electric fire pumps, load pump families, set elevations with a one-foot plinth, and model a diesel fuel tank for 3d visualization.
Create a stretchable plinth in Revit by defining length, width, height, and material parameters within a new mechanical equipment family, then place it under the pump and adjust its size.
Design suction and discharge piping layout for fire pumps, placing flexible connectors, gate valves, non-return (check) valves, and pressure gauges to prevent vibration and backflow.
Learn to create a fire water tank in Revit using extrusion and void extrusion, assign materials, place 3d text, and connect suction and sprinkler pipes.
place yard hydrants and valves outside the building per nfpa 24, maintain 12.2 m from the building and 50–100 m between hydrants for adequate hose reach.
Route and size hydrant pipes for fire protection, including a six-inch main supply per NFPA 24 and three-foot clearance, then use Revit to draw, connect, align, and verify in 3D.
Learn to add text annotations, dimensions, tags, legends, and symbols in Revit for firefighting drawings, including placing, scaling, and loading family symbols.
Generate equipment schedules for fire pumps, sprinklers, and hydrants in Revit by creating schedule views that extract model data and key fields such as family, type, and flow rate.
Learn to create pipe and pipe fittings schedules in a Revit fire fighting course, including fire wet pipe and drain pipe, with sorting, header and footer, totals, and cost analysis.
Create a central file in Revit to enable multi-user collaboration and share the project over the local area network. Save as central file, then set permissions and synchronize local copies.
Enable work sharing in revit by creating a central model and syncing with center. Create and assign worksets for walls, floors, and components, managing access and view visibility.
Master how to create and load sheet and title blocks in Revit, customize name, drawn by, and checked by fields, and place floor plans, 3d views, and schedules on sheets.
Print and export drawings in Revit by configuring print setup, choosing letter paper and orientation, selecting raster processing for shaded views, and saving the result as a pdf or image.
Learn to import cad into Revit by preparing AutoCAD drawings: separate floors, unlock layers, set origin and units, convert inches to millimeters, and place ground and first floor cad files.
