In fire safety and fire suppression systems, our products and services play a vital role.
What does that mean?
It means that there is a particular context to the ways that we protect ourselves and our buildings against fire. This is worth thinking about when you have a responsibility to maintain fire safety anywhere.
Combustion and Standards
One of the other ways that our society has protected us against fire is with building standards like ASTM standards that focus on flammability and other factors, and get applied in manufacturing and beyond.
You can see all of these detailed standards at work in all aspects of the construction pipeline. They are present in the manufacturing of materials, in the delivery and installation of materials and in the turnkey systems that eventually have homes and other buildings open for use.
The standards themselves are fairly wordy and in-depth. Engineers will test for things like flame spread and oxygenation factor over time in order to try to predict how fire would move through an interior space. They’ll evaluate the fire retardant nature of materials that are combined to form interior installations. All of this ups the game for real fire safety.
Real Protection
But in combination with the standards, you can also have superior fire suppression equipment.
You can have things like ansul suppression systems that will protect against quicker or expedited combustion, and you can have systems that will sense smoke and warn of the imminence of fire. This combination of tools and resources really does keep people safe!
You can also have chemical products that will smother flame or inhibit flame from growing inside of a building.
Another way to think about this is to contrast the old way of thinking with new ways of thinking about fire safety.
Ye Old Fire Department
In ancient days, the response to the fire was initiated after the flames had already become evident.
Perhaps a fire company showed up with a tanker, the earliest of which were usually horse-drawn, and threw some water on the fire.
They didn’t have the modern types of things that we have now with ansul systems, fancy hoods and more, to extinguish or suppress flame when something catches fire.
Today’s preemptive systems play a vital role in keeping everyone and their financial assets safe. Take a look at what we offer to stakeholders like fire safety specialists and others who want to make sure that fires in a building don’t get out of hand. These products help with even very aggressive fires like grease fires and other kinds of threat of conflagration
