Fire pumps are designed to provide the necessary water pressure and flow rate for fighting fires. Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pump used for fire fighting. They work by using an impeller to create a centrifugal force which draws water in from the suction side of the pump and pushes it out of the discharge side at a higher pressure. They are typically used in applications where a high flow rate is needed.
 
There are six types of centrifugal fire pumps:

1.Vertical Turbine Fire Pumps: vertical turbine fire pump is a specialized type of centrifugal pump that is typically used to move large quantities of water at high pressures. It is commonly found in fire protection systems, where it is used to move large amounts of water from a water source to a sprinkler system that is used to suppress fires. The pump consists of several components, such as an impeller, a suction pipe, a discharge pipe, and a motor. The impeller is the rotating part that is used to draw in water and move it through the system. The suction pipe is used to draw water into the pump and the discharge pipe is used to move the water out of the pump. The motor is used to power the impeller and move the water through the system.
2. End Suction Fire Pumps: End suction fire pumps are centrifugal pumps that are most often used to transfer water from a lower to a higher elevation. They are commonly found in fire suppression systems, and are capable of pumping large volumes of water at relatively low pressures. End suction fire pumps have an inlet at one end and an outlet at the opposite end, and they are designed to draw water from a source, such as a pond, lake, or other body of water. The pump then moves the water through a discharge pipe to the fire suppression system.

3. Horizontal Split Case Fire Pumps: Horizontal split case fire pumps are designed for commercial and industrial applications that require a reliable and efficient pumping system. These pumps are typically used in fire protection systems and offer a high level of reliability and durability. They are designed to move large volumes of water quickly and efficiently, making them an ideal choice for applications such as sprinkler systems, fire hydrants, and other fire protection systems.
4. Vertical In-Line Fire Pumps: Vertical In-Line Fire Pumps are specifically designed for fire protection systems, and are typically used in applications where the pump needs to be located in a basement, utility room, or other areas where space is limited. The vertical design allows for a smaller footprint, while the in-line pump allows for the pump to be easily serviced. They are suitable for both pressurized and open systems, and can provide a reliable source of water for fire protection purposes.
5. Self-Priming Fire Pumps: Self-priming fire pumps are self-priming centrifugal pumps that are specifically designed for use in firefighting systems. They are capable of automatically priming themselves and pumping out fluids from a source without having to be manually primed. Self-priming fire pumps are used in commercial and residential fire protection systems to provide water to fire sprinkler systems and other firefighting equipment.
6. Submersible Fire Pumps: Submersible fire pumps are specifically designed to move water from a source such as a pond, lake, or river to a fire suppression system. These pumps are designed to be submerged in the water source and are powered by electric motors. Submersible fire pumps are typically used in applications such as fire hydrant systems, sprinkler systems, or other fire suppression systems where the pump needs to be located in a submerged location.
