The problem with standard fire
safety measures is that they require man power assistance
to ensure effectiveness. Even the automatic smoke alarm
and fire alarm still
require someone to extinguish the fire once it has started.
So, at this point, a person may reach for an extinguisher
or a fire blanket, but this is highly problematic, and
in a number of cases very dangerous. When a fire breaks
out the last thing you want to do is hang around, even
though you might be compelled to save your belongings.
Automatic fire suppression cannot be achieved by implementing
standard fire safety measures. In fact, even fire proof
doors, flooring and windows only contain fire to a particular
temperature for a specific amount of time – they
do not actually put out the fire. So, if someone becomes
trapped by fire or overcome by smoke, these methods
do not provide automatic fire protection, merely an
alert and measurable containment.
Automatic Fire Suppression
To suppress a fire effectively, to the point of safety -
which ultimately means extinguishment - a method of
automatic fire suppression is needed that doesn’t
require the activation or assistance of man power in
any way. The only fire safety discipline that can offer
this is automatic fire sprinklers. Automatic fire sprinklers
provide ‘live’ protection. This means that
as soon as a fire is detected, the sprinkler nearest
to the fire will activate and extinguish the fire before
smoke penetrates the building and flames break out further.
Fire sprinklers use less water than the hoses of the
fire service and only sprinklers within the proximity
of heat will activate to release water. In short, this
means far less damage to your property. Having fire
sprinklers installed in your home or commercial premises
is the equivalent of employing a 24 hour fireman, without
having to pay the salary. There is no better way to
protect your
home, family, workplace and employees. 99.8% of
fires can be compartmentalised and extinguished effectively
by fire sprinklers.
Installing Automatic Fire Sprinklers
Fire sprinklers are a cost effective solution to fire
safety and, in the modern day, affordable for both domestic
and commercial property. Fire sprinklers save lives
and prevent injury every day. Coupled with an effective
smoke alarm set up, automatic fire sprinklers will allow
occupants to vacate premises without for one moment
thinking of running back inside to save belongings or
trying to extinguish
the fire manually. Even a trapped occupant will
be saved when the sprinklers douse the fire with water
and eliminate the danger immediately.
