Firefighting Systems at Ganesh Market

The document summarizes a site visit to understand the sprinkler system at Ganesh Market in Baramati on February 17, 2020. It describes the layout of the sprinkler system, including the positions of the fire tank, pump room, sprinklers, and hose reels. The existing system had branched metal pipes with upright sprinklers and hose reel boxes, but no automatic sprinkler system or smoke detectors. An upright sprinkler is installed at the top of a pipeline and shoots water upward to spread in a circular pattern, making it suitable for hard to access areas.
