EFFECTIVE REACH OF FIRE STREAMS The following tabulations of the effective reach of fire streams eer of the Notional Board of Fire Underwriters, now retired. were obtained from actual tests conducted by the National The tests were conducted under weather conditions as good Board of Fire Underwriters in collaboration with the Chicago as. could be found for out-of-door tests.
