Fire has been discovered and used by our forefathers some million years ago and
since then the humanity has been very dependent on fire to survive. People use
fire to prepare their meals, boil water, produce heat to warm up during
winter, burn chemicals to produce goods that we need everyday and so much more.
Fire is given to us by mother nature is just reproduced by human for whatever
serves its purpose. We can control the way we use fire, but there are times
that we really just can't.
A fire could start in less than 30
seconds and less than 5 minutes for it to go out of control. And not only that
because smoke also comes along with the fire. During a fire, the surrounding is
very dark and before you know it you are already about to collapse due to the
lack of oxygen. Fire can cause so much destruction as its tendency to be so
severe escalates every second.
History has taught us some very
important lessons about the wrath of fire. The Great Fire of London in 1666 is
one of the greatest manifestation of fire's stronghold in vanishing a city by
not taking extra care of it. The English city was burned down not only for one
whole day but for a couple of days. In the modern days, we see news on TV and
read the headlines on the newspapers about fires that happens almost everyday.
The effect is so devastating as it not only caused property, but also the lives
of many. That is how big the damage is when fire starts without any precautionary
measures. Of course, there are many ways in preventing fire nowadays and there
are already many materials mainly used for against fire that's been invented by
many. Procuring fire extinguishers and installing fire and smoke alarms are one
of the.
However, when it comes to helping you
reduce the spread of fire and smoke to different compartments of your home of
establishment, reliable fire doors play the
key role. By which this means that people inside the establishment will
have enough time to leave the premises affected by fire and find a safe place
away from it. While all these are happening, fire doors are also up there trying to stop the fire and smoke from
contaminating everyone. They can hold fire for up to 4 hours depends on the
door type and its certification.
But can you believe that door like this
one can help save lives and property by containing the spread of fire and
smoke? It is only good of you to believe. These fire doors are not your ordinary door. They are built with high-end
and tough materials to withstand fire at any level of it. All the materials and
parts of it are fire rated. So when we say fire rated they are all tested and
have past the government's standard. Fire
doors must all be certified as mandated by the Australian government. You
would know that a fire door is
certified when you see a tag on the side. This tag will tell you who the name
of the maker, installer and certifier of the fire door. The fire rating is also found in the same tag. The
rating will determine how long can a door hold a fire before it could spread
around the area.
But after all, we still need to make
sure that our premises are clear and prevent fire at all cost. We still need to
stand on the notion that prevention is still better.
