A workplace fire can be a debilitating occurrence for many reasons. For the business owner, it can mean the loss of years of hard work and invested time and money. And while insurance can help with rebuilding, there are some things that money cannot buy, such as sensitive information and the time needed to replace and recreate what was lost.
For the business employees, a serious fire can mean loss of income for an indefinite period of time while the business is rebuilt – if it is rebuilt at all. Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, so even just a few weeks with no pay can signal disaster in the form of missed mortgage or rent payments, car payments and insurance payments for displaced employees.
And of course, a business fire can seriously injure employees and customers who are in the building at the time of the fire.
How can a commercial fire alarm help?
A commercial fire alarm will provide your business with several of the most important safeguards against workplace fire losses.
Early Detection: By detecting the fire early, you have time to not only make sure everyone has time to exit the building safely, but early detection also means that the fire authorities will arrive much sooner and stand an excellent chance of bringing the fire under control before extensive damage is done. Early detection is done via heat and smoke detectors and sirens that alert you to the fire’s presence.
Sprinkler System: Installing a sprinkler system can keep a fire under control until the fire department arrives. Sprinkler systems are triggered only in the area where the fire is located, and can significantly slow the fire’s intensity and spread.
