What color identifies a combination sprinkler/standpipe system?

A combination sprinkler/standpipe system is identified by the color yellow. This color coding is part of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and local codes that help firefighters quickly identify the type of fire protection system in place during an emergency situation. Yellow specifically designates a system that combines both sprinkler and standpipe components, providing a comprehensive approach to fire suppression within a building.

Understanding color codes is crucial for firefighters, as it allows for immediate recognition of the type of system they are dealing with, aiding in the efficient deployment of firefighting strategies and resources when responding to a fire.
