This may be a little ironic, but this story shows video of an electronics factory burning down.

Perhaps a sprinkler system would have prevented a total loss?

Why inspect & test your fire systems?

fire20 — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 03:06:24 +0000

This point was pondered after speaking to a new customer (& property owner). We conducted the first test & found that a 36 metre long fire hose reel on their site was 42 metres (& a couple of corners & a door) away from the furthest point of the building. Their response was ‘why do you fire people always find things wrong…….? This is exactly what we didn’t want‘.

Their response came as a bit of a shock, as I believed we were employed to ensure the fire protection equipment operated correctly so the property & persons in it were safe. I also know that the hose reel is the first line of defence- the equipment used by you or me to make sure the little fire doesn’t become a disaster.

It made me think………would they rather I said after a fire- ’I knew it didn’t reach, but I didn’t think you’d want to know‘?

What do you want out of your fire protection company? If you want it done right, but think it could be approached more logically, give us a call any time 1300 340 210.

Statistics about fires from NFPA Research (United States)

This is a great article about what causes fires in the USA & how often they occur. It’s data from the USA, but the statistics are just as relevant to Australia.

If you haven’t got time to read the full article; this quote regarding smoke alarms hit-home.

“Almost all homes have at least one smoke alarm, but 63% of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes without working smoke alarms.”
