Alarms

A fire in a large building is a frightening thing. According to the NFPA, on average, fire departments in the United States respond to a structure fire every 66 seconds. With a standard fire alarm system installed in such a building, you have the safety net of knowing that something will trigger the fire alarm and alert the fire department as to what’s going on. A smoke detector will notice smokier fires, heat detectors will pick up high-energy fires, and a pull station always provides an excellent manual solution in case an occupant notices the signs of a fire before the automatic detectors can. In short, having a fire alarm system ensures that your property is protected, as help will be on the way from the moment the alarm goes off. But in a fire, it’s not just the property you have to worry about, but the people inside..
