Protect Your Business from the Devastation of Fire

Security is vital whether you protect property and people in a commercial facility or students and staff in a school setting. While alarms and surveillance cameras help prevent theft, vandalism, and manage access control, the threat of fire requires more specialized systems. 

When inventory is stolen or walls are marked with graffiti, the damage is mitigated fairly easily, products are replaced, and walls are cleaned within days or even hours. When flames consume buildings, the destruction is devastating, leaving you to pick up the pieces over the course of weeks or months. A fire alarm monitoring system keeps your operation running and saves lives by alerting you to trouble and giving you react in an instant.

CAUSES AND COST OF CONFLAGRATIONS

According to the Buffalo University research paper Total Cost of Fire in the United States, fire damage substantially impacts businesses and the national economy. For example, the report states that the net loss as of 2017 is $328.5 billion; this number represents approximately 1.9% of the country’s total GDP during the same time period. Thus, the need for better vigilance and early warning is clear. 

The causes of fires in commercial buildings are many and varied. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states that over 25% are started by cooking-related incidents followed by human error, HVAC malfunctions, electrical issues, and most insidiously, arson. The wide range of causes means you need more than stand-alone smoke detectors; a comprehensive system is required. 

PROACTIVE PROTECTION

A fire alarm monitoring system is your best protection against the loss of life and property. By combining localized sensors, AI-enabled alerts, and a dedicated support team, incidents are identified earlier and resolved quicker. 

Aspirating smoke detectors sense the signs of combustion over thousand times more efficiently. Installing these in conjunction with standard optical, thermal, and ionization units provides the most complete coverage.

The remote monitoring station uses artificial intelligence to reduce false alarms or missed alerts. In addition to generating signals for human verification, the system indicates potential outbreaks by monitoring building system status. The result is a quick call to first responders and a faster reduction in damages.
