Under What Conditions Should You Install a Fire Alarm System?
Not all places or buildings must install a fire alarm system. For example, small houses do not have to install this kind of system because the cause and source of the fire can be detected easily. Although the potential for fire is always there (from the kitchen, for example), householders can provide fireproof blankets or simple extinguishing devices to prevent a large fire from spreading. After all, the installation of a fire alarm requires complex and not small costs and maintenance.
So under what conditions should you install a fire alarm system? You are required to install a fire alarm system if your building or place of business is in any of the following situations:
1. Open Plan, Large and Multi-Story Commercial Property
You are required to install a fire alarm system on all commercial properties. Because this kind of building is related to the public interest and must ensure the safety of many people, when a fire or explosion occurs, it will be difficult for firefighters to detect the source of the fire if the building consists of several floors. So, the installation of fire alarms in complex buildings is very important, even becoming part of mandatory regulations in many countries.
2. Places that are High-Risk Objects or Activities
The fire alarm system must be installed in an open building location and has a high risk of starting a large fire or explosion. It can be a warehouse for goods storage or a mining and fuel storage area. A good firefighter company will usually choose a more specialized and complex protection system to anticipate the slightest explosion or fire.
Research centers and government offices should also install fire alarm systems according to need. This kind of location should also be far from residential areas so that the impact of the fire does not spread to the public domain.
3. Buildings with Special Occupants
The occupants in question are the elderly, small children, or persons with disabilities. Nursing homes, orphanages, hospitals, and other special places must have a fire alarm system installed as protection. Such occupants will not be able to escape quickly when a fire occurs. Because of this, the evacuation process may be slow and require a lot of help. So, the existence of a fire alarm will prevent casualties, and the process of extinguishing the fire can be done immediately.
