  • An essential part of building a security system
    is the fire fightingsystem and neglecting to
    install it may lead to fatal consequences. There
    is a wide range of fire fighting system available
    in the market. Some of those fire fighting
    systems are listed below with a brief
    explanation.
  • Fire Extinguisher
  • It is an active fire protection device filled
    mostly with compressed carbon dioxide.It is used
    to avoid small fire. The fire extinguisher must
    be identified. Extinguishers are color coded
    according to their agent. Automatic gaseous fire
    suppressing system This kind of fire suppressor
    uses a gaseous agent to combat the fire. The
    clean agents (gases that are a non supporter of
    combustion) are kept protected in cylinders.
    There is a network of pipes. Whenever the device
    detects smoke, it automatically comes into
    action.

  • Wet Pipe Systems
  • It is the most widely used and cost efficient
    system of fire protection.it is filled with water
    and whenever the system detects smokes it
    automatically pours water to prevent the fire
    from spreading.
  • Pre-Action Systems
  • Pre-action fire protection systems are filled
    with air and require two triggers to activate, to
    prevent accidental or unnecessary sprinklings in
    case of false alarms. Once the smoke is detected,
    it allows water to pass through and downpour
    where the fire is detected.

  • Dry Pipe Systems
  • Dry pipe systems use pressurized air it empties
    out of the pipe before water escapes. These types
    of fire protection systems are ideal for
    buildings with low temperatures since there is no
    risk of the pipes freezing the downside, there
    is a deal of around one minute between the
    detection of smoke and system to get into action.
  • Deluge Systems
  • This type of system is found in large industrial
    parks and factories. Its words like wet pipe
    system but going by the name it works on a flat
    surface, it floods the whole surface of the
    surrounding area to avoid the loss of industrial
    property.

  • Fire Hose Reels
  • Fire hose reels are to be used by occupants as a
    first attack fire fighting measure. There may
    be instances where they can be used by
    firefighters too. Now a question arises how a
    fire hose reels work. Its mechanism is quite
    simple. When stowing a fire hose reel, its nozzle
    end has to be attached to the hose reel valve,
    then the hose reel valve should be closed, and
    the nozzle has to be opened to relieve any
    pressure in the wound hose, and then close the
    nozzle.

  • Fire Hydrant Systems
  • Fire hydrant systems are installed in buildings
    to help firefighters quickly attack the fire.
    Essentially, a hydrant system is a water
    reticulation system used to transport water to
    limit the amount of hose that firefighters have
    to lay, thus speeding up the fire fighting
    process. Fire hydrants are for the sole use of
    trained firefighters (which includes factory fire
    fighting teams). The extremely high water
    pressure may cause serious injuries to untrained
    persons if they attempt to operate the equipment
    connected to such installations. Fire hydrant
    systems sometimes include ancillary parts
    essential to their effective operation such as
    pumps, tanks, and fire service booster
    connections. These systems have an intricate
    designing and need to be taken care of from time
    to time.
