Fire Safety and Prevention Technology

All buildings, no matter how well they are built, could be in danger of a fire. Whether you are a landlord of a commercial building or you just want to make your house more safe, fire safety devices can help you to detect fires quickly, lessening the damage it could do to its surroundings or others.


Conventional Devices

If you want to be safe against the threat of fire, the first thing that should be done is the installation of hochiki conventional devices, for example, a fire detector. There is a wide variety of these that can be used for slightly different purposes so that you can find the detector that is best suited to your home or building. Depending on the position of the detector as well as the fire risks, you could get a device that only detects smoke or a device that only detects heat. If you feel that you want to be extra cautious, you can get a device that detects. These conventional devices are usually compatible with fire alarm control panels, they can also be set into zones so that you know the general area of where the fire is. This will help when evacuating the building as you know where to avoid to be safe.


Lighting

An important part of evacuation plans is the fire escape as it can help people escape buildings when other doorways are blocked as well as help firefighters rescue people when they can’t leave by themselves. Hochiki firescape lighting is a helpful tool for these fire escapes as it helps to make a clearer path. Fires can disorientate you so by having bright lights and a clear path, more people will be able to safely escape the fire. These lights can also be used indoors, while you might thin



k that emergency lights are not needed in fires, the smoke and heat can make it difficult to navigate a room. Having bright lights that are more fire resistant and turn on when a detector goes off can help to guide everyone outside where it is safer.



Ancillaries

Hochiki ancillaries are devices that are used to support the main detectors and control panel, they can help you to upgrade your fire detection system and improve safety measures. For example, a programming lead, this is helpful in the set up of your heating system or if you are adding a new device. It lets you transfer already made programmes to the device that you want so that all of your fire system devices are in sync. However, you can’t have a programming lead without a programmer, these can connect to detectors, wall sounders, manual call points and more with up to 8,000 operations available to use. This way, you can customise your fire system to match your building perfectly. Another addition to your fire system could be a sub box assembly, this has a tray, cover and lid and it is used when an existing module is damaged, either in a fire or due to a different accident. As well as this, you can buy a waterproof kit, when preparing for a fire, other dangers can be overlooked such as floods or leaks. Buildings have a lot of water that can cause damage to your water system, breaking it so if there is a fire in the future, it can not detect it properly. Taking this extra precaution can ensure the safety of anyone in your building during a fire, preventing more injuries that could occur.


If you want to update your fire detection system, products like hochiki conventional devices can help you to keep your building as safe as possible. It also helps you to keep everyone in your building safe, reducing the risk of injury if a fire ever occurs.
