There are multiple reasons why you should have more than fire sprinklers to protect your building and the people within it.
Fire sprinkler discussions frequently enter the conversation when people talk about fire suppression systems and what is the best way to protect buildings and the people around them. Others also wonder why they need fire suppression tools with fire sprinklers. So, there are multiple reasons why you should have more than fire sprinklers to protect your building and the people within it.
Why You Need More Than Just Fire Sprinklers
You may think you’re in the best situation once you have fire sprinklers in your building. But this is not always the circumstance during a fire. It takes a specific amount of fire to activate your fire sprinklers. Plus, there is a lot of water damage when your fire sprinklers go on. You possibly prefer this type of damage instead of fire damage.
However, you have the necessary equipment on hand by having other fire suppression tools in place beside your sprinkler system. These tools can assist you in putting out minor fires that might not need fire sprinkler activation or may not even provoke a sprinkler system to activate. This is why you should have more than fire sprinklers to protect your building.
How Fire Suppression Systems Operate Together
Moreover, it’s vital to have a fire suppression system with several features. You also want different options available during a fire, as sprinklers aren’t always the best solution for extinguishing fires. Here are some fire suppression tools you should have in your building that can function with the fire sprinkler system or even in place of the fire sprinklers should the fire be a minor, easy-to-put out one:
- Fire alarms/smoke detectors
- Fire extinguishers
- Kitchen fire suppression systems
- Fire safety design in building
You should have more than fire sprinklers to protect your building because you will feel confident knowing you have the right products nearby to assist you in detecting, containing, and extinguishing any fire that might happen. And if there is a small fire, you might be able to put it out with only a fire extinguisher. Hence, you don’t risk having the water from the sprinkler system damage your building’s interior when you have adequate fire suppression tools.
