Fire Protection & Extinguishing Systems

Fire Protection & Extinguishing Systems are critical security measures that aim to quickly detect fires, prevent them from spreading, and extinguish them effectively. These systems consist of technological and structural components:

1. Technical Fire Protection Systems:

• Fire Detection Systems: Detects the beginning of a fire and raises an alarm.
• Gas Warning Systems: Detects the leak of explosive or toxic gases.
• Alarm and Evacuation Systems: Warn people in case of fire and ensure safe evacuation.
• Escape Routes and Emergency Lighting: Illuminates and directs escape routes in case of fire.
• Smoke Protection Systems: Designed to reduce exposure to smoke.

2. Fire Extinguishing Systems:

• Fire Extinguishers: Used as hand-held or fixed systems. Extinguish fires with water, foam, powder or gas.
• Automatic Extinguishing Systems: It is activated automatically when fire is detected. For example, sprinkler systems.
• Passive Fire Protection Materials: These are materials applied to building elements. For example, fire-resistant coatings, fire partition walls, and fire-resistant doors.

Fire prevention and fire suppression systems are vital to life safety and property protection. Correct design, installation and regular maintenance minimize the risk of fire and prevent serious consequences.
