Acapable of being quickly connected to the fire main with a suitable pipe spool
Bkept available for use on the fire main at all times
Crated at or above 125 psi
Don line and in operation at all times to the fire main
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) kept available for use on the fire main at all times. The reasoning is that when multiple fire pumps are installed, at least one of them must be dedicated solely for use on the fire main at all times. This ensures that there is always a reliable source of fire protection water available, even if the other pumps are used for other purposes. The other options are incorrect because A) allowing a pump to be quickly connected is not sufficient, C) the pump rating is not the key requirement, and D) the pump does not need to be on line and operating at all times for the other uses.
