Fire detection systems are designed to discover fires early in their development when time will still be available for the safe evacuation of occupants.
We offer the following Smoke and Fire detection and fire fighting equipment.
Wet Sprinkler System
The sprinklers in these systems are attached to pipes containing pressurized water at all times. Individual sprinklers in the vicinity of a fire set off by heat, allowing watter to flow through them immediately.
Wet-pipe systems are used wherever temperatures are high enough to prevent freezing.
Dry Sprinkler Systems
In a dry-pipe system sprinklers are attached to pipes that contain pressurized air. When heat activates the sprinklers, the air pressure is reduced, allowing the dry-pipe valve to open (or trip) and water to flow to sprinklers.
Dry-pipe systems are usually used only when temperatures are not high enough to prevent freezing (below 4 degrees celsius.)
Since dry systems have a slower response time, they should be converted to wet-pipe systems as soon as sufficient heat becomes available.
Fire Extinguishers
It’s important to make sure you have the right types of fire extinguishers on hand to put out common household fires.
Class A extinguishers will put out fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood and paper.
Class B extinguishers are for use on flammable liquids like grease, gasoline and oil.
Class C extinguishers are suitable for use only on electrically energized fires.
Class D extinguishers are designed for use on flammable metals.
