Tips For Better Security: Install A Business Fire Alarm

By Mark Mahaffey


Have you purchased a business fire alarm for your building? If so, you may have some questions regarding the best place to put it. First of all, if you have only purchased one, consider buying more. It is important to have as many as possible in order to keep you and your workers safe.

The reason is that the more business fire alarms you have, the more safe you and your employees will be when a fire breaks out. One of the smartest places to put it is up close to the ceiling. This is because the ceiling is the where the smoke accumulates.

Put alarms outside of every office door, inside offices, in the kitchen, in your conference room and in your parking garage. Be sure to put fresh batteries in your alarm very six months. If you live in the part of the country which has a time change in the fall and spring, consider using those times as reminders to change your batteries.

Testing your alarm is very smart. You should do this every few months so that you can rest assured that they are working well. The way to do this is to push the test button located on the alarm.

If you work in a school, the best fire systems will be those that include a sprinkler system along with an business fire alarm system. Of course, the most important thing is to alert the people within the building that a fire is happening. But beyond that, any steps taken that may immediately reduce the fire is very helpful.

If the sprinklers can turn on as soon as the fire system is triggered, the water can begin controlling the size of the fire, as well as how far it spreads. When the fire department gets there, they will have a better chance of putting the fire out if it has stayed small.
