Fire Protection Services – Protecting Lives and Properties

Quality fire safety management is necessary to protect lives and properties. That’s why investing in a superior fire protection service is essential for your home or business.

Here are three essential elements you must consider when planning your  fire protection system .

Three Essential Elements of a Fire Protection Program

Developing a complete fire protection system requires resources to minimize if not eliminate the impact of a fire. These three elements can reduce the potential damage of a fire in both your home and your workplace.

Smoke Detectors
Yes, fire alarms are loud. This is necessary because they facilitate early detection and quick response in the event of a fire. Your smoke detectors, therefore, need to be installed in just the right places to be most effective.

Fire Extinguishers
As part of your active fire protection program, you need to have  fire extinguishers  installed at appropriate locations throughout your building. This applies to both homes and businesses.

Fire extinguishers differ based on the type of agent they use which impacts the type of fires they best suit. A fire safety expert can help you determine the kind of extinguishers you may need for a kitchen vs your laundry room, etc. Extinguishers are however designed for smaller confined fires in emergency situations. Fire extinguishers are, therefore, not ideal for out-of-control fires.

Fire Suppression Systems
Fire suppression systems help to stem the spread of a fire in a building. With a combination of dry chemicals and/or wet agents, they can suppress building and equipment fires. These systems are ideal for commercial properties and residential complexes.

Fire suppression systems  are diverse. So, ensure that you work with a professional when installing a suppression system in your building.

Security alarms can communicate via internet (hardwired or WiFi depending on the system), phone line, or cellular. Often security alarms have two communication paths—one that is primary and one that is backup. ATP Alarms encourages all customers to have a back up form of communication in the event the primary fails.
