Prevention or protection whatever you call
it they are words that you should keep inside the house especially if you already have a family of your
own.
Take these 5 protection tips against fire
and please, read it.
1. Plan a house with fire protection system
1. Plan a house with fire protection system
Who wouldn’t want a home
that protects the family, right? In anticipation, you always think of “what
if’s” that might happen when you buy a house or planned to create it. You
cannot avoid the worries and uneasiness especially that you’re still founding a
great family.
The only way to get out of
worries is to plan well the structure and internal security of your house. If
you don’t have an architect with you, you can always follow the fire code or building
code issued by the local fire department.
A well-balanced fire protection system uses passive fire protection
(PFP) and active fire protection (AFP) which I will discuss later on in this
discussion. Aside from the system which will be installed in your house is the
education that you should acquire. Your system won’t work if the members of the
family are not ready for any fire emergency.
Readiness and awareness are always the best protection from fire
incidents.
2. Get some professional help
If you have a plan for
your home it is better if you ask for a professional’s help. You cannot just
say “Just use fire doors and we’re
protected”; though there is nothing wrong with the use of a fire door because that would help slow
down the fire, but still, you need the
help. Some families are ignoring the importance of professional advice; because
they think that they can prevent fire incidents if they just keep themselves
safe.
This kind of mindset is the reason why there are casualties
when the fire broke out. Experts have the longest experience when it
comes to fire outbreak. And, the reason why we ask for their help is to prevent
any incident that will take our lives.
They know which system
should be installed inside the house, what materials are best used for fire
protection and they will educate your family.
3. Use PFP and AFP system altogether
Passive Fire Protection
(PFP) and Active Fire Protection (AFP) system are effective when installed
together. PFP is a system that compartmentalised your house. It uses materials
that are fire proof such as, reliable fire doors,
fireproof walls, and fireproof floors and so on. Its main function is to slow
down the spread of fire. This will give more minutes for your family to escape
the house.
AFP,
on the other hand, is a system that requires the use of
manual action or automatic action. For example, sprinklers, fire alarms, fire
extinguishers and the like.
When this two system are
combined altogether, you have a fire-safe house.
4. Fire Safety Education for the
whole Family
There is nothing stronger
than having education on how to prevent fire incidents. This kind of training and seminars are often taught at
school while the city fire department is
giving drills. If there are forums about fire prevention in your area you can
always join and learn from it.
5. Invest in fire protection system that works best!
Lastly, invest in fire protection system; your fire door alone
won’t help you if your walls are made of
light woods. Your beautiful house will be nothing if you have no active fire
protection system. Your modern-designed house is
worthless if PFP is not part of the plan.
Conclusion
A little investment on the fire protection
system is nothing compared to the possible fire incident that will take your
property or even one of your family member. It is better to be safe than
nothing at all.
