Gadgets for Increased Fire Safety

If you are the owner of a home or business you will at some point need to think about your fire safety.

For residential homes, implementing good measures to protect yourself and your families from fires isn’t a big deal.

You can get easy to use and fire extinguishers at many places today.

If you install a smoke detector on each level of your home in particular in those errors that are prone to fires such as your kitchen, basement, workshop et cetera you can actually protect your home against fires very easily and affordably.

On the other hand, installing the proper fire protection devices when it comes to commercial structures can be a lot more complex. A simple smoke detector won’t do seeing that the United Kingdom has strict fire safety laws that you need to follow as a business owner.

The first consideration here is always the type of business and building where you want to install a fire protection system. Needless to say, while, say a sprinkler system may work for some premises it could be disastrous for others where the water would ultimately cause more damage than a fire. Think about offices or warehouses filled with high-tech equipment and machinery where a sprinkler system would be a rather poor choice for extinguishing a fire.

Another area that deserves special attention when it comes to fire prevention would be commercial kitchens. There will be additional requirements for such locations such as that the extinguishing agent used cannot be toxic and that hot cooking equipment needs to be cooled off to prevent re-flashing of fires. This is were special fire suppression systems such as the Ansul kitchen suppression system come in helpful.
