| With the UK fire service having
attended 61,000 building fires in the year April
2009 to March 2010 – 22,000 of these commercial
buildings and schools - isn’t it time you
started thinking about commercial fire protection,
properly? The thought of losing an employee or
multiple employees to fire doesn’t bear
thinking about, but neither does watching all
your important documents, expensive machinery
and years of hard work go up in flames. Of course,
you may well have comprehensive insurance, but
fire is traumatic, devastating and the effects
are long lasting.
To fully protect your employees and your commercial
premises you need to install commercial fire sprinklers.

What Comprises Sufficient Commercial
Fire Protection?
You may be thinking that you already have sufficient
fire protection in terms of fire alarms located
strategically around the building, fire extinguishers
and blankets at the ready, fire exits implemented
in line with health and safety legislation and
a fire safety plan for exiting the building and
accounting for staff. And these aspects of fire
protection are commendable, but quite simply not
enough.
Commercial Fire Installation
Fire operates indiscriminately. It doesn’t
follow the guidelines of your fire safety plan
or always start conveniently without blocking
a fire exit. Fire is highly unpredictable and
spreads fast, engulfing a building in smoke within
minutes. Smoke makes visibility extremely difficult,
combine this with being unable to breathe properly
and you will get some idea of how hard it becomes
to follow fire safety procedures, remain calm
and find an exit. The best commercial fire protection
is without doubt automatic. You require fire protection
capable of stopping fire dead in its tracks and
minimising smoke outbreak.
Commercial Fire Sprinklers
Sprinklers contain fire in the place of origin
and suppress flames and smoke efficiently and
effectively. This allows your staff ample time
to vacate the building safely via a fire exit,
maintaining full vision and little smoke inhalation,
if any at all. 9.9 times out of 10, fire sprinklers
will have extinguished a fire before the fire
service arrives, meaning that the fire service
only has to secure the building and conduct an
investigation. It’s simple, commercial fire
sprinklers save lives and save your business from
being gutted by fire. It can take a year or more
for a business to recover from the effects of
fire; don’t let this happen to you.
