When it comes down to it, very little stands in the way of your family and their overall safety. I started thinking about different ways to create a safer environment for my family, and it all started with investing in a great new security system. I purchased a system that I felt really good about, and after it was installed, I was amazed with how well it worked. I wanted to make a little website all about creating a safe, comfortable environment for your family members. Check out this blog to learn how to create more security for you and your family members.
If your business is like most, you likely have at least a few smoke alarms installed in your building to help warn employees and customers in the event of a fire. But if you want to step up your safety game to the next level, it might be time to reach out to a vendor of fire suppression systems. Here are three reasons why a fire suppression system is better than having only a smoke alarm.
1. More Time to Get Out
When a smoke alarm goes off, the fire is already likely burning at a decent rate. You'll likely still have time to get out safely, but if the fire is spreading especially fast, there might not be a ton of time to react. When you have a fire suppression system installed, a set of sprinklers will go off in addition to the alarm. That incoming water can help buy you, your employees or your customers a few extra precious minutes to collect yourselves and get out of the building safely.
2. Reduce Property Damage
While a smoke alarm can help humans get out of a burning building quickly, it won't do much of anything to help protect your inventory or property. A sprinkler system that goes off at the first sign of a fire can help significantly reduce property damage by keeping the fire contained until professional help can arrive. If you are concerned about the sprinklers going off during a false alarm, consider that some light water damage is significantly less expensive to repair than your entire inventory going up in flames.
3. It's Less Complicated Than You Think
A properly installed fire suppression system can last for many years without a ton of maintenance. Just get a professional to come out once a year and double check that everything is as it should be. In most cases, you won't have to spend any time thinking about your fire suppression system until the moment it goes off.
Fire suppression systems are ideal for business owners who want to take their fire prevention to the next level. A good suppression system can help give you, your employees and your customers extra time to get out of the building safely. It can also help keep a fire under control until the fire department can arrive, helping to reduce property damage in the process.
