Where can i get something in writing about the recommended flow rate for today's fires being at least 150gpm? This is for justification reasons, so it needs to be a non-bias type document. If you can help let me know.
Thanks and BE SAFE!!

I started a High-Rise Group. Would love for you to give your two cents every chance you get.
Hope all is well.
Hope to see you at Indy, and look forward to the results and data when they come out. If what you found was that earth shattering, it will definitely prove to change the fire service for the better! Thanks for all your work on this, and thanks for the info.
