The purpose of this project was to present the Australasian Fire Authorities Council with a position for determining required water supplies for fire-fighting purposes. Background research into United States fire codes and standards as well as interviews with Australian authorities helped to establish this position. The final result of the project was the determination of the minimum fire-flow requirements for residential developments.
