Fire is something that happens to other people, right? Indeed.
Accidental dwelling fires claimed 210 lives and produced
6,500 non-fatal casualties between April 2009 and March
2010, and in total the 242,000 fires were attended by
the fire and rescue services. So yes, fire does happen
to other people, but one of those people could be you
or a member of your family at some point in your life.
For this reason, it is of the highest importance that
you implement residential
fire protection to ensure the safety of your family
from the perils of fire at all times.
What is Residential Fire Protection
Residential fire protection can take on a number of disciplines. These include but are not limited to:
- Fire proof doors
- Fire proof windows
- Fire extinguishers
- Fire blankets
- Smoke alarms
- Fire alarms
- Fire sprinklers
Although smoke alarms and fire alarms are automatically activated,
all of the disciplines on this list, except one, have
something compelling in common, and that is that they
provide passive fire protection, not active fire protection.
None of these fire protection disciplines have the ability
to put out a fire, except fire sprinklers. Even smoke
alarms, as great as they are at alerting you do danger,
still rely on the fire service arriving and suppressing
the fire. And by the time the fire service arrive,
your property could be completely destroyed or worse
still, a member of your family could be badly injured.
It is a well known fact that a higher percentage of fire casualties suffer solely from smoke inhalation and not from burns. This substantiates the importance of putting a fire out quickly and suppressing the smoke before it has a chance to contaminate the property. Residential fire sprinklers extinguish flames and suppress smoke particles effectively before members of your family breathe in the poison and suffer long term body or brain damage.
Isn’t It Time You Started Thinking About A Residential Fire Installation
to Protect Your Family?
A residential fire installation is a no-brainer. Protecting your family is your number one priority and residential fire sprinklers provide a one-stop solution in preventing the spread of fire. By combining sprinklers with smoke alarms in each of the rooms of your house, you will create a comprehensive fire protection strategy to not only protect your family but also your property. Residential fire sprinklers use far less water than the volume emitted by fire service hoses, therefore further protecting expensive and sentimental items from permanent damage.
