FIND SOURCES SOONER
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), some of the most common causes of fire in commercial buildings are cooking equipment, heating devices, electrical, lighting, and intentional fire setting. By installing complementary and overlapping tools and sensors, you can be alerted to trouble sooner, minimizing damage and loss of business.
In unprotected spaces, a fire can smolder for hours or weeks before erupting from its starting point. Without sure signs of trouble, it is challenging to catch sources like in-wall electrical issues or that pile of cleaning rags causing a chemical reaction. As a result, many cities and state regulations require installing two sensor types, heat and smoke, to maximize detection and provide time to warn occupants.
SAVE LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS
When a sign of fire is detected, you need to get everyone to safety; the expediency with which people react to alerts and notifications correlates directly to lives saved. Once an issue is detected, audible alarms and strobes provide sonic and visual indications. In addition, lighting systems tied to the fire safety controllers are set to full brightness, and pre-recorded audio directs staff and clients to the nearest exits.
Access controls typically offer safety measures, but in the case of a fire, any impediment could cause bottlenecks and delays. Building automation triggered by alerts disables entryway management, opening locks and lifting gates, allowing people to get to safety much faster.
