Knowing what type of fire alarm system your business needs is essential to protect your assets from a fire emergency. In this article, Woodward Group discusses key factors that may affect your assessment and installation.<\/p>\n
A fire can engulf even the largest properties in just a matter of minutes. To protect your important investments, a fire alarm system is integral as it detects the earliest signs of smoke, heat, and actual flames. Early detection is critical to prevent the loss of assets and, more importantly, the loss of life.<\/p>\n
To find the fire alarm system that\u2019s best-suited for your business, you must consider the following: <\/span><\/p>\n 1. The size of your facility. <\/b><\/span>Is your property small or large? Will it require separate systems for each building? How many floors will your fire protection system cover?<\/p>\n 2. Your industry and the associated site risks. <\/b><\/span>Different industries require different levels of assessment. For example, a chemical fire will need special instruments to detect and extinguish flames compared to an electrical fire, or there is a sleeping risk on site.<\/p>\n 3. The location of your facility. <\/b><\/span>Keep your property\u2019s location in mind, as this can determine how your alarm system should be configured to ensure a quick emergency response.<\/p>\n 4. System features. <\/b>Your fire alarm system must be tailor-fit to your working environment. For instance, an addressable fire alarm system that can monitor different buildings all at once and contain a fire in one specific area would be recommended for a vast factory complex.<\/p>\n
