Where multiple fire pumps are installed, they may be used for other purposes, provided that one pump is _______________.
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.
