Haha, good one Dottie. Next you're gonna tell me NFPA 72 has the answer, which is just the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. Come on, it's gotta be NFPA 25!

You guys are overthinking this. NFPA 101 is the Life Safety Code, it's got everything you need to know about fire protection systems, including water temp for storage tanks.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. NFPA 13 is the standard for the installation of sprinkler systems, so it might have some info on the water storage requirements.

I'm not sure, but NFPA 25 does make sense since it deals with water-based fire protection systems.

NFPA 25 is the obvious choice here. It's all about the inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems, including storage tanks.
