Understanding the Key Features of a Complete Fire Safety System

Planning and Installing a complete fire prevention and protection solution involves an integrated approach in which engineers and contractors need to analyze each component of a building structure including building management systems. The design of the best fire suppression and firefighting protection system is challenging task and require adequate fire safety awareness and installation experience. Availability of fire safety equipment and fire suppression methods also impact the design and effectiveness of fire protection and safety system. Although fire prevention and safety solutions are different for almost every property, however, the following features are common among reliable fire safety systems.

Automatic fire detection

A fire prevention and control system cannot be effective without having modern fire detection mechanism. Fire sensors such as smoke detectors and fire alarms are the most important fire detection devices integrated in building management systems (BMS) to contain fire at the initial stages and ensure occupants safety and protect building infrastructure. Automatic fire detection devices and mist system are now widely used in commercials, institutes, and residential properties for more responsive fire protection.

Flame detectors and fire alarm are as important to fire protection system as video surveillance to security systems. Smoke sensors and alarm system enable managers to take immediate safety measures and apply fire suppression methods to contain the fire. It is important that all fire detectors should be functional and only properly trained and competent persons have access to fire safety tools. Access control and availability of functional firefighting equipment are important to have complete control solution for fire events.

Innovative fire suppression

The objective of any fire suppression method is to reduce temperature, contain the fire, and offer possible ways to extinguish the fire. A wide range of fire suppression systems are available in the market, however mist system is considered the most effective one. Mist system from a HCIS approved contractor discharge less water and doesn’t contain harmful chemicals unlike ordinary sprinkler system.

Integrated Firefighting protection system

All components of a building’s fire protection and safety system need to work in coordination to effectively detect, suppress, and eradicate a fire in the initial stages and to ensure survival during the event of fire. To establish the most effective symbiosis between fire safety and security systems, it is best to involve HCIS approved contractors, such as SAS Systems Engineering, in the planning and installation stages.
