Fire Protection System
About Fire Protection System
Fire
safety is integral for business owners. A fire can spark in an instant
and spread within seconds. Fire protection systems reduce damage to the
building, expensive equipment, documents, and inventory during a fire.
Fire suppression systems, smoke detectors, and sprinkler systems are all
types of fire protection systems that help with fire detection and
protecting building occupants and equipment.
Fire protection
can be active or passive. When a building is under construction, the
contractor and architect can incorporate passive fire protection, such
as fire doors and fire escapes. Passive fire protection may also refer
to the use of non-flammable materials during construction. By contrast,
active fire protection means using a system that reacts in case of a
fire. Examples of active fire protection include sprinkler systems and
special hazard fire suppression systems.
Why is Fire Protection System important?
•
Fire protection systems are designed to react promptly and
automatically in the event of a fire, irrespective of the time of day,
without the need for human intervention or having to navigate safety
considerations.
• Fire protection systems are fitted with alarms
that will alert occupants as well as offsite monitoring services of a
developing fire.
• Fire protection systems are designed to
extinguish a fire at inception which results in significantly less heat
and smoke being generated.
• A well-designed system will ensure
prompt control of the spread of fire to minimize and localize fire and
water damage to property.
• Occupants are exposed to much fewer dangers if the fire is controlled by a protection system.
•
A fire controlled by protection systems generally results in less
damage to property which translates into reduced insurance premiums for
those businesses fitted with protection systems.
