Protector - create a fire flow report after an event

The Fire module of the Protector can be used to determine if delivering fire flows is possible during a breakdown or isolation event. This example assesses a fire event in the network after removing affected facilities previously identified, with the assumption that the area identified is taken off-line.

1. Double-click the desired project .aprx file to open ArcGIS Pro.
2. Click the InfoWater Pro tab to open the InfoWater Pro ribbon.
3. In the Project panel, click Initialize.

Start by running a simulation for the current scenario:

4. On the InfoWater Pro ribbon, in the Analysis panel, click Run to open the Run Manager.
5. Click Run to run the simulation and create an output for the current scenario.

6. Close the Run Manager.

To access the Protector:

7. On the ribbon, in the Project panel, click Apps.
8. From the Apps Manager, select Protector.
9. Click Run.

10.  In the Protector app, switch to the Fire tab.

In this example, a contamination event has been identified, and the affected facilities have been isolated. Use the Protector Fire settings to determine if there is sufficient fire flow to serve the network, based on the remaining facilities:

11. In the Facility Management drop-down, select the AFFECTED_FACILITIES selection set.
12. Under Fire Nodes, make sure that All is selected.
13. Set the Fire-Flow Demand to 1000.
14. Set the Residual Pressure to 20.
15. Set the Accuracy to 0.0001.
16. Set the Maximum Iteration to 20.
17. Set the Critical Node Searching Range to Entire Network.
18. Click Run to run the Fire analysis.

The Fire-Flow Report dialog box opens.

To view the junctions with low fire flows during fire flow events:

19. Select the Available Flow (gpm) column header.
20. Select Sort Ascending.

21. Click Close to close the Fire-Flow Report.
22. Back on the Fire tab, click Reset Facility to reset the affected facilities.

23. Click Close to exit the Protector.
