Fire control equipment includes such items as fire extinguishers, standpipe cabinets, and sprinklers.
Fire extinguisher and standpipe cabinets located in main circulation paths should be flush mounted in walls adjacent to classrooms. Isolated equipment is more susceptible to damage.
Fire sprinklers should be also be flush mounted in ceilings to avoid damage. A sprinkler that has recessed valves is available, but still allows distribution head to hang below the ceiling.
