In my slash and burn days I left the JP off a pump installation, trying to make $ for my boss. We ended up putting one on later cause the pump would start. It wasn't tied in to central station, so it didn't bother the FD, but it would get warm if it happened at night- cause it ran till the AM. They did tie in to central station after a fire started and just one CSC 17/3-286 Model A from 1985 +/- saved a large mfg plant (EX HAZ 2 occupancy) so we're glad the right stuff was there- and that the SSU did its job. Cause otherwise we'd have had some liability issues to deal with, having installed orig system in 1985 (predecessor corp), just re=packed the pump after a long run, and added sprinklered 4 new plant expansion.
After the fire they thought they turned off the spkr system by pushing the OFF button on the fire pump. I happened by shortly afterward and found 55 Psi from city still coming outa the head.

Plus there is a Fire pump and JP on the fire main. Anyway, I am leaving the JP in the package. Craig L.
