Whether you are in Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, or Atlanta, the potential for a fire is multiplied significantly when your fire suppression system is down, malfunctioning, or being repaired.
Fire is incredibly fast! In under 30 seconds a little flame can easily turn into a substantial fire. With blinding thick black smoke filling the building. Before you know it, the entire home or business is engulfed in flames.
When the fire alarm system is down
A fire system can be down for several reasons, replacing fire doors, renovations, power outages or the alarm system isn’t working properly. If your building has employees, tenants, or families, it is a big responsibility. Safety is the utmost priority.
Unfinished buildings and construction sites
Construction sites are known for being a potential fire hazard. Typically, fire alarm systems are not set up and the water hasn’t been turned on yet. Power tools, fuel, combustible materials, and chemicals, can put the property at a higher risk for fires.
Owning and operating a business is a big responsibility
If your fire system is down, there is typically specific guidelines one has to follow according to their jurisdiction. If one fails to comply they are subject to costly fines, which can be significant.
For instance, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has a set of guidelines to protect property and lives from the presence of a fire hazard. NFPA 101 section 9 states, if an automatic sprinkler or fire alarm system is down for over 4 hours in a 24 hour period, the building is required to have a fire watch service or must be evacuated.
