Fire Suppression Technologies

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Gary Smith

Fire suppression is part of the components in a fire alarm system. Typical fire alarm systems will contain a warning device, a detecting system, and fire suppression system, and an announcement and evacuation system in case fire does break out.

Warning devices will consist of either a mechanical or an automatic switch that will activate the alarm system. Detectors consist of a variety of detectors such as smoke, heat, flame, and chemical detectors. An announcement and evacuation system can consist of something as simple as flashing lights and as advanced as EVACS or an automated PA system that has a pre-recorded message informing building occupants to leave the building premises immediately.

Examples of fire suppression technologies

Fire suppression technologies on the other hand are more sophisticated devices designed to put out fires. The most basic fire suppression device would be a fire extinguisher. Chemical fire extinguishers and foam suppressor would be next. Fire retardants would be next in line. And then building arrangement designed to starve the fire would be the most advanced. Rooms with electronic or magnetic doors that seal the room in a vacuum and suck air out to kill the fire and buildings that are built with fire-retardant materials and coated with fire-proof materials are also components of fire suppression systems.

Importance of fire safety

Fire prevention and fire safety are an vital aspect of any business. It protects the business not only from property damage, but also protects the people that work there from loss of life or injury. Insurance premiums are lower when businesses have fire alarm systems. Different fire alarm systems are matched for different businesses and buildings. Installing the incorrect type can have devastating repercussions. Instead of preventing fire, it may help the fire spread more quickly by applying the wrong fire retardant. Fire burning from industrial chemicals needs a different sort of material to extinguish it compared to normal fire.

To ignore fire safety would be to risk financial ruin. For a business, that is certainly death. Legal suits would follow, and government regulation would require the business to be shut down. No business benefits from ignoring fire alarm systems. No sensible businessman should skip or scrimp on fire safety procedures. Every businessman should see that even though these systems are costly, they still save profit the business in other ways.

Personnel training and building evacuation

Aside from fire suppression, a business' workforce must also be trained to handle fire break outs. Teaching employees how to operate a fire extinguisher, how to properly evacuate the building, as well as what to do in cases of fire is an important process in fire safety precaution. Plans must be drawn out as contingencies for fire emergencies. The building itself must be designed to specific fire safety regulations. If the building has several floors and uses elevators, there must be emergency stairways that can be used in case of fire. Emergency exits must be clearly marked and must be visible in the dark.
