Fire poses the greatest threat to a business or commercial company; its damage is often complete and devastating. With burglary and theft, inventory is replaced quickly, and staff put back into action within days. A fire can consume everything you worked for in a matter of moments and take you weeks or months to get going again.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), some of the most common causes of fire in commercial buildings are cooking equipment, heating devices, electrical, lighting, and intentional fire setting. Therefore, in order to avoid total loss and save lives, you need a fire detection system.

DETECT TROUBLE

While the first line of defense is to conduct a thorough inspection of your buildings, workspaces, and infrastructure for potential issues, you need to prepare for the worst. By installing a combination of detection tools and sensors, you can be alerted to trouble sooner, minimizing damage and loss of business.

In unprotected spaces, a fire can smolder for hours before erupting from its starting point, making it difficult to catch in-wall electrical issues or that pile of cleaning rags causing a chemical reaction. As a result, many city and state regulations require installing two sensor types, heat, and smoke, to maximize detection and provide time to warn occupants.

SAVE LIVES

When a sign of fire is detected, you need to get everyone to safety; the expediency with which people react to alerts and notifications correlates directly to lives saved.

Once an issue is detected, audible alarms and strobes provide sonic and visual indications. In addition, lighting systems tied to the fire safety controllers are set to full brightness, and pre-recorded audio directs staff and clients to the nearest exits.

Access controls normally offer safety measures, but any impediment could cause bottlenecks and delays in a fire. For example, building automation triggered by alerts disables entryway management, opening locks, and lifting gates.

GET SUPPORT QUICKLY

Fire detection and alarms instantly notify first responders. Modern systems are directly linked to a central monitoring station that immediately dispatches firefighters. Furthermore, many systems can pinpoint the location of the fire giving emergency services an even better chance at extinguishing it.
