About this file
This document is an Annual Fire Sprinkler Inspection Report for the Hines VA Building #37 located in Hines, IL, conducted by Chicago Fire Protection on October 1, 2024. The comprehensive inspection revealed several critical deficiencies, including issues with fire hydrants, fire department connection gaskets, and valve maintenance. Specifically, the report noted that 3 out of 10 fire hydrants did not properly drain after testing, posing a potential freezing risk in winter, and all 10 fire department connections have dry-rotted or missing gaskets that need replacement.
The inspection covered multiple building systems, including 13 wet systems and 1 dry system, with detailed assessments of control valves, alarm devices, inspector's test pipes, and various risers. While most systems functioned adequately, the report highlighted several non-critical deficiencies that require 5-year inspections, such as lack of internal piping assessments, outdated gauges, and unexamined check valves. The deficiencies were categorized with varying levels of urgency, with some marked as impairments that need immediate attention to ensure the building's fire protection system remains fully operational and compliant with safety standards.
