Recommended fireplace Safety Systems

Fireplace detection and suppression systems must be completely functional, including ensuring the appropriate equipment is installed, tested, and maintained for safe use in a fire.

Fire Alarm Detection Systems

A fire alarm detection system is to sense smoke, extreme heat, or a fireplace and supplies a high-frequency alert to personnel throughout a building.Fire alarms need to be in centralised areas and at the head of stairways on every floor of a multi-story structure.The detection systems can be activated automatically or manually via call points on the wall.

Fire Suppression Systems

A fire suppression system is to prevent and extinguish a fire in a building by using dry chemicals or wet agents. The system includes inert gases, Co2, and water mist.

The released chemical agent activates the fire suppression system when it detects smoke. The sounders are a verbal warning before releasing the agent. Install a fire suppression system on-premises.

Fire extinguishers and signage

Fire extinguishers play a role in protecting buildings and fighting fires in their early stages. A fire extinguisher can eliminate fires using chemicals: such as water, powder, foam, Co2, and wet chemicals.

Fire safety signs indicate the location of equipment, fire alarm activation, warning signs, and fire escapes.Through imagery and text, employees know where they can find the correct equipment in an emergency.
