Tips For A Quality Commercial Fire System

By Mark Mahaffey


Many people think of home fire safety when they think of fire safety. But in reality, business fire safety is just as important. People tend to spend almost as much time at their jobs as they do in their homes. This means that it is critical to have a good commercial fire system in place in your business.

As you put together your plan for your business security plan, there are several things you should keep in mind. For example, it is important that everyone in your office knows what the fire escape route is. Your building should have at least two exterior doors, so that people can get out safely.

The fire doors must also be kept clear. If there is a fire and the doors are blocked with things like trash bags, empty containers and extra office equipment, people will be hindered from escaping the fire. Make it a rule that anytime there are workers in side your office, the fire doors are clear and unblocked.

Do you have fire extinguishers in your building? If not, you should purchase some and make sure that everyone in your office knows how to use them. Check them frequently to make sure they are in good operating condition.

Sprinkler systems are also a good idea. When you install sprinkler systems, you can have them connected to your fire alarm system. That way, if your alarm system detects a fire, it can automatically turn the sprinklers on, which can keep the fire under control until the fire department arrives.

Fire and heat detectors are also a critical part of your commercial fire system. Just make sure that you check them frequently to make sure the wiring is intact. It is also important to keep fresh batteries in them.
