What is a fire riser room?

A fire riser room is a dedicated space within a building that houses the fire riser system, which is a network of piping that supplies water to the fire sprinkler system for firefighting purposes. The fire riser room typically contains the riser, valves, gauges, and other components necessary for the operation of the system.

Fire riser rooms are typically located on the ground floor of a building near the main entrance or stairwell for easy access by firefighters in the event of a fire. The room is required to be kept clear and easily accessible at all times to ensure the system can be activated quickly in case of an emergency.

Regular maintenance and inspections of the fire riser room and system are necessary to ensure proper functioning and compliance with fire safety regulations. It is also important to keep the room free from obstructions and clutter to ensure quick and efficient access during an emergency.
