Fire hydrant system - single vs multiple

Performance requirement E1P3 of the National Construction Code (NCC) states that a fire hydrant system (singular) is to be provided to the degree necessary to, amongst other things, facilitate the needs of FRNSW appropriate to firefighting operations.

A single or united building having multiple hydrant systems does not facilitate firefighting operations, including incorporating differing design standards such as both a wet and dry fire hydrant systems.
