fires in occupancies that have activated sprinkler systems, inform students that they should observe the<br />
following guidelines in regard to main control valve operation:<br />
• Check to ensure that sprinkler system control valves are open for proper operation.<br />
• Do not close sprinkler control valves until fire officers are convinced that further operations will<br />
simply waste water, produce heavy water damage, or hamper the progress of final extinguishment.<br />
• When a sprinkler control valve is closed, station a firefighter with a portable radio at the valve in case<br />
it needs to be reopened should the fire rekindle.<br />
