In the past, there are
only a few buildings that have installed fire
resistant doors because they were not really imposed by the building code
agency. However, in the present days, Australian building code regulations have
been stricter since they have discovered that people are safer from fire
accidents when there are Gold Coast fire
doors and fixtures that can bear extreme heat and act to compartmentalise
the fire in a single area.
There is no cut and dried
rules on how to exit a burning building. It will all depend on the judgment of
the leader and the people who are trapped in a burning building. They know
where the fire is coming from and basing from that knowledge, they should head
towards the exits with specified Gold
Coast fire doors. These exits are usually double-leafed doors that have
special characteristics that will allow it to close automatically once fire has
already reached it. most of these doors are tied to a fire alarm that whenever
the alarm goes off, fire resistant doors
shut down automatically.
Long corridors can be
scary places when fire is starting in a certain part of the building. As wide,
open spaces can vacuum the heat after the smoke has covered every corner of the
space, fire can follow quickly, and can blast through the expanse of the
corridor if there is no barrier door that has been installed to stop the spread
of fire once it happens.
What are the causes of
fires? There are many causes for them but mainly, they are caused by the
following:
Children playing with
matches – Matchsticks are attractive to kids because they can scratch it to the
side of the match box and create an ignition. When little kids are not
instructed that they should not play with these things as they do not know how
to manage or put out a burning match stick, they may instead throw it around
and the ignition catches the carpet, a pile of paper or a curtain.
Defective electrical wires
– Once a building has been wired by a non-professional, there is a tendency
that they may not understand how to separate circuits so that they do not
overload in one circuit. Should electrical wires become defective in their
installation, they form a short circuit, causing ignition. Once there is
ignition for a particular circuit, it can reach fuel material and a fire can then
follow.
Smoking – Smoking per se
is dangerous when it is done by a drunk inside the room and the cinders fall to
the bed or on the sofa. As it can build up and burn the combustible materials
around, the cinder causes a fire and the abundance of fuel materials around it
will allow the cinder to be fanned into a fire.
Abandoned stove that has
something cooking on it – There are times that the one cooking forgets that
they left the stove on. Even if they are only boiling water, once the stove
fire catches towels or table napkins near it, there can be a possible fire.
