FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM
A fire protection system is an important component of a building's safety plan, regardless of whether it's a commercial facility, hospital or educational facility. That's why passive fire protection systems have been designed to help protect the building and its occupants during a fire. Fire protection systems include fire suppression, sprinklers, smoke detectors, fire hose reels, landing valves and other fire protection equipment that works in tandem to protect against fire.
Automatic Fire Sprinkler Systems
Almost all newly built commercial or industrial buildings require automatic fire sprinkler systems for life safety, the protection of the property, the safety of the firefighters, and to minimize business interruption. These systems are designed and installed as prescribed in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems or NFPA 13. In the simplest form, these systems include a series of connected pipes and fittings, with valves, alarm initiating devices, and automatic sprinklers that are supplied by a reliable water supply.
Standpipe System
Standpipe systems are a series of pipe which connect a water supply to hose connections, basically an extension of the fire hydrant system. They are designed to provide a pre-piped water system for building occupants or the fire department.
Fire Hose Reel System
Fire hose reel systems consist of pumps, pipes, water supply and hose reels located strategically in a building, ensuring proper coverage of water to combat a fire. The system is manually operated and activated by opening a valve enabling the water to flow into the hose that is typically 30 meters away.
Fire Hydrant System
A fire hydrant is a device connected to a pressurized water supply designated to supply water for firefighting during all phases of the fire. It has a column shape which emerges from below the ground level, allowing above ground connection of equipment for firefighting purposes.
