Today we conducted a sprinkler system "flow test" at the new Silverthorne fire station. As with any commercial building, this is a required step in the permitting process, and we're no exception -- even for our own facility. In this test, water carried in the pipe supplying the spinkler system has to be turned on wide open for a minute to ensure that it does not have any debris in it that could clog a sprinkler head. That hose tower is 35 feet tall, and our temporary geyser reached that level with room to spare! Also, check out the images below of the steel frame being erected, giving shape to the living quarters.
