Jan 2021 AHA Meeting - video - fire pump

https://youtu.be/pyOm2dbj4Gg

Arlington Housing Authority - Arlington Mass

at approx 100 of 137 the fire pump at 4 winslow is discussed

seems that a new fire pump room was built and then a new fire pump was
installed - and it failed to work properly - so now they have to spend
$150,000 more to fix everything

not sure how much has already been spent on the project - maybe it was
$150K in maybe 2010 for the pump room - and then maybe $150K for the
pump in 2014

John Griffin said something about a new generator being installed and
low water pressure in the street

seems very odd - even if there was low water pressure in the street -
you would size the pump to get adequate flow

here is a good 2014 article about sizing a fire pump for a highrise -
