Hit a fire sprinkler standpipe...did the pump come on???
Surf’s up baby
Yes. The standpipe was for an entire warehouse section. It was a geyser and a river. Fortunately the building wasn't in low land and the runoff flowed out of the building instead of flooding it.
I'm not sure if the sprinkler system was a retrofit but there were a lot of people other than the forklift driver who also failed: The owner, architect, engineer, builder, and sprinkler system installer should have had protective bollards around the pipe (which were installed after the incident).
