Innovations In Fire Safety
Posted on: 15 January 2015
We all know how deadly even the smallest fire can be. While a fire might start out as small and seemingly easily managed, it can quickly escalate to become major and very damaging. If you have an interest in the fire suppression systems industry, then you will be happy to know that there have been many new innovations introduced lately. Here is an overview of some of the latest and most helpful advancements within the fire safety industry.
Technologically-advanced smoke alarms
If you're looking for extremely reliable detection and alerts from your smoke alarm, then you need to look into upgrading to a FAAST. FAAST, or Fire Alarm Aspiring Sensing Technology, enables smoke alarms to attract air into the sensor through a pipe system. This increases the sensitivity and efficiency of the device. By testing the environment, the smart detectors are able to keep you informed of your environment's safety, enabling you to properly manage your home or business.
One FAAST smoke detector covers a large, 8,000 square foot area. These innovative smoke alarms can be controlled via the internet, and updates can be received by email. Another especially impressive aspect of these new FASST detectors is that they are ultra-sensitive, detecting even the minutest amount of smoke.
Eco-friendly fire suppression
Electrically generated suppression systems are eco-friendly, and they have the ability to detect, manage and rapidly extinguish fires. Not only do these systems work more efficiently, but they are cost-effective, as well. These can be great if you're seeking a green way in which to suppress fires at your business. There is also the option of investing in a portable electrical fire suppression system, which is smaller and easy to transport anywhere you may need it.
Automated fire protection systems & future advancements
Not only do these systems detect smoke, but they analyze, manage and extinguish fires, as well. Like the innovative smoke detectors, these automated fire suppression systems can be controlled online. Although the systems that are currently on the market perform optimally, fire hazards continue to be a major problem in certain industries and building. This has prompted manufacturers to continue to research and create newer advancements. By the year 2020, it is expected that automated fire protection systems will be taken to a new level. They will provide even more efficient fire safety, focusing on preventing fires and earlier fire detection.
As you can see, there has been a great deal of innovation within the fire safety and suppression industry. Whether you have a passive interest in fire safety, or you're actively seeking more reliable products to keep your home or business safe from fire, these innovative products should make doing so easier.
