What makes a Good Fire Prevention System the Best?

There is a big difference between the way fire prevention is defined and handled in a domestic environment and in a commercial or industrial setup. When we talk about fire suppression systems in factory, we talk about systems that are quite complicated and it may not be possible to paint it all with the same brush. For example, there is bound to be a big difference between mobile plant and equipment fire protection to a fire prevention system in a factory that manufactures purified mineral water. The risks of fire are much higher in the former than the latter. Fire Standards and Adhering to Compliance Systems Whenever we think about a comprehensive fire protection in a factory, we have to keep in mind that it is not all about just putting some fire extinguishers and other such equipments in place. The entire process is a complex one and has to be thought through. The entire approach should adhere to fire systems complaint to AS5062-2006 and the subsequent updates that keep happening each and every year. These fire prevention systems are subject to regular audit and failure to abide by the strict norms would lead to withdrawals of the compliance certificates. Fire Prevention for Moving Vehicles There is also a need for having a separate approach as far as vehicle fire system is concerned. Here, the emphasis should be on finding out ways and means to put out fire that could occur in a moving vehicle. The reaction and response time for the activation of a bus fire system could be a few minutes at the most. Hence, when one looks at such fire prevention and suppression systems, the speed with which the entire system can be activated is of paramount importance. They also should be able to focus on rapid evacuation of passengers rather than saving the bus or vehicle from damage and destruction.
