What does NFPA 22 address?

1. Installation of Fire Hydrants

2. Water Tanks for Private Fire Protection

3. Fire Sprinkler Systems

4. Emergency Response Procedures

The correct answer is: Water Tanks for Private Fire Protection

NFPA 22 specifically addresses the standards and requirements related to water tanks for private fire protection. This includes considerations such as the design, construction, maintenance, and testing of water tanks intended solely for providing water supply for firefighting needs. The standard outlines criteria to ensure that these tanks are adequately sized and appropriately constructed to serve their intended purpose in protecting life and property from fire hazards. In contrast, other options pertain to different aspects of fire safety and protection. For instance, the installation of fire hydrants is covered under a different standard (like NFPA 24), while fire sprinkler systems are primarily addressed by NFPA 13. Emergency response procedures are not the focus of NFPA 22, as they revolve more around operational protocols rather than infrastructure and equipment standards for water supply in fire protection contexts.
