4 winslow is a 13 story highrise with 99% disabled residents ..... 90% over the age of 65
for several years there have been apparent problems with the fire pump / fire sprinkler system ..... fire sprinklers require 20 psi to operate ... fire hoses require maybe 100 psi to operate ... elevation loss to the top of the building is 70 psi (5 psi per floor] ... so you need 170 psi at ground level to make a fire hose operate properly at the top floor ... but water coming into the building is maybe at only 100 psi ... thats why you need a fire pump in the building to boost the pressure
