It is important that as a business owner you are capable of identifying and controlling conditions that could possibly increase your chances of fire damage. Should you be unprepared, there is a chance that your business may not be able to reopen after such a huge loss that could have been prevented. Below you will find a list of areas that should be maintained for fire protection.

Business Fire Prevention

• Sprinkler Systems. What is great about sprinkler systems is the fact that they offer 24 hour fire protection if they are installed properly. The systems are designed to activate automatically should a fire start. When the system is activated it will release water spray in the area of the fire, suppressing it until the fire department arrives.

• Fire Extinguishers. Every business is different so you must ensure that you have the right type, size and number of fire extinguishers for you building. You should be able to obtain all of the proper information from your closest fire protection equipment supplier or fire department.
  Fire extinguishers do lose their charge over time and can possibly become ineffective. Therefore, you should have a professional fire equipment supplier periodically inspect your extinguishers to ensure that they are still operational.

• Storage and Use of Flammable Liquids. It isn't unusual to find a multitude of flammable or combustible liquids like cleaners, solvents, adhesives, etc... What most people may not realize is that fact that flammable liquids give off vapors that can possibly travel with the natural airflow. It is a possibility that these vapors could explode if ignited by any sort of spark.

• Smoke Detectors and Alarms. Even though smoke detectors can't put out fires, they can however provide an early warning that could allow the fire to be put out or a chance for anyone needing to escape. An ADT business fire protection system monitors your home or business for 24 hours and is capable of alerting the appropriate authorities in the event a fire starts.
