The fire pump is responsible for pulling water from some dedicated source, either an underground water supply main or a water source such as water storage tank, lake into a building in the event of a fire.
It's important that the pump is located at level just beneath the bottom of the fire tank so that the water can flow in the pump with the help of gravity

Fire pumps are critical for providing additional water pressure to a fire protection system. They don't create water themselves, But instead, increase the energy needed to suppress the fire.
Taller building or large warehouse that need a high volume of water will require a boost from fire pump. A fire pump is helpful when the water supply is drawn from the ground level water storage tank. The pump will help pressurize the water so it douses the flame quickly.

Main benefits of Fire pumps are :
- It increases the pressure of water flowing to the fire sprinkler system so that sprinkler can release the maximum amount of water while extinguishing a fire.
- In case one or more fire sprinklers get exposed to high heat then their pressure decreases. In such cases, fire pumps start and increase the pressure.
- In case some firefighting connections or fire hoses reels remain open then this leads to pressure drop in the sprinkler system. In such cases also Fire Pumps maintains the pressure.
- Fire pumps help in supplying water to the places of very high altitudes such as multistorey building or towers. Because for such heights high pressure of water is necessary.
- It provides a high terminal pressure to the sprinkler system.
From a general conjecture....
A lower RPM engine (expecting pressure factor and stream are comparable) would take more force to arrive at a similar degree of yield (less turns, more obstruction) and would then take a bigger engine to work. The higher RPM would take into account a more modest engine because of the lesser required force (more turns, less opposition).

There are many benefits to having a fire pump. They can help save your house, car, or business from becoming extinguished and potentially harmful Hearthwood sparks. Fire pumps often save households from spending an excessive amount of money on extinguishing a fire. They can also help fix or rebuild a structure.
