Kitchens: More Than a Place to Steal Your Coworker’s Lunch!
Fire Protection Services, News, VFSEducating your employees on proper fire safety protocols is essential to ensure their workplace safety. In order to keep them safe from harm, they need to know what steps to take in the event of a fire — and no, ‘fricken large ones’ is not correct. In an effort to help guide your fire safety training endeavors, we’ve put together a few tips to improve your employees’ education surrounding building fire safety.
News Flash! Fire Suppression and Fire Sprinklers Are Not the Same!
Building Safety, Employee Safety, NewsThese systems are typically found in places like museums, libraries, data centers, and archives. Unlike wet-pipe sprinkler systems, suppression systems use gaseous, chemical or foam agents to suppress the fire, rather than water.
Suppress Fires, Not Feelings
Alarm Monitoring, News, VFSFire suppression systems are used to extinguish or control fires and are activated by heat, smoke, or a combination of the two. Suppression systems are typically found in places like museums, libraries, data centers, and archives.
What is a Public Safety DAS? NFPA, ERRCS and AHJ (Plot Twist, these letters actually mean something…)
Building Safety, News, VFSThe NFPA requires that “Buildings and structures that cannot support the required level of radio coverage shall be equipped with a radiating cable system or a distributed antenna system (DAS) with FCC-certified signal boosters, or both, or with a system that is otherwise approved, in order to achieve the required adequate radio coverage.”
Are you Smarter than a Fire Inspector?
NewsThere are over 300 NFPA codes. It’s hard to keep track of them all.
Sound the Alarm—How Many Notification and Detection Devices Do You ACTUALLY Need?
NewsA fire alarm system is a system of connected devices working together to detect and warn people when smoke or fire is present. Alarms can be triggered by smoke detection, heat detection, or manual pull stations. Alarms vary from traditional systems to motorized bells, wall-mountable sounders, and even to electronic notification systems, strobes, and voice alert systems.
Emergency Lights and Exit Signs Deserve Love and Attention, too!
NewsThe code states that “emergency illumination shall be provided for a minimum of 90 minutes in the event of failure of normal lighting. The illumination must not be less than an average of one foot along the path of egress at floor level.”
The Sprinkler is More Than an Outdated Dance
NewsWell, might as well give it a shot with different types of sprinklers! (But here’s a major hint: leave the sprinkler dance at home. You know, that cringy 80s dance move…) Here’s a rundown of different sprinkler systems for national fire prevention.
Building Compliance vs. Building Complaints (Not a Spelling Error!)
Building Safety, News, VFSWith over 300 codes written in “legal-ese,” it’s not always as intuitive as it should be to comply with fire safety codes. So, we’ve created a cheat sheet to steer you in the right direction— it doesn’t have to be so overwhelming.
