Today let's talk about how it is provided and goals pursued.

What tools are used to protect

Means of protection from fires and their consequences can be quite varied. The main ones are set out in the Federal Law № 123-FZ (Art. 52). Let us examine them in detail.

When used for extinguishing special gas must be provided for its removal after the localization of the source of fire. Plants with an extinguishing agent required to undergo periodic checks - they should always be ready.

In the course of the evacuation corridors, stairways arranged manually operated call points, and all the warning system should go to the panel, which is in charge around the clock. This may be a security post, communicating or room concierge at the entrance. In this case, it must be able to work offline.

Among other things, the draft notes used to extinguish the flame equipment used for this matter and explain some of the points where they are required.

The installation systems are permitted only organization having the license and approval from the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES). Failure to observe this point the object can not be put into operation. In this case, when using an object for commercial purposes, bypassing fire inspection permit, and it is quite possible criminal liability.

Additional security measures

It often happens that even modern fire systems are not able to save lives. This happens through the fault of the organizations or individuals that own premises. The most frequent cause of casualties in fires becomes negligence and non-compliance with safety requirements.

Poisonous smoke from plastic panels or the usual allocated burning wood - never mind. He does not allow a person to navigate, understand which direction to go. Thus the products of combustion expelled the remaining oxygen, which leads to loss of consciousness. Open flame only finish that initiated smoke.

Combustion products are distributed overlaps, With pipes wiring fast enough. this rate is up to 10 meters per minute, so the fire on the ground floor of a five-story building would lead to a complete smoke blanketing the upper tiers and a half to two minutes. After that, go down the stairs to be rather problematic.

Adds the danger and ignorance of the people, how to behave in such a situation, because the average person rarely finds himself in a burning building. Panic - here is another man's worst enemy in case of fire. It leads to the appearance of the crush or actions, uncharacteristic in everyday life.
