Whois & Analysis for innovativefireprotection.com

A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire.

Commercial security devices issue a signal to a fire alarm control panel as part of a fire alarm system, while household smoke detectors, also known as smoke alarms, generally issue a local audible or visual alarm from the detector itself.

A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection method, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flowrate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected.

Although historically only used in factories and large commercial buildings, systems for homes and small buildings are now available at a cost-effective price.

Fire sprinkler systems are extensively used worldwide, with over 40 million sprinkler heads fitted each year.

In buildings completely protected by fire sprinkler systems, over 96% of fires were controlled by fire sprinklers alone.

A fire hydrant, also called a fireplug, fire pump, johnny pump, or simply pump, is a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water supply.

It is a component of active fire protection.

A fire alarm system has a number of devices working together to detect and warn people through visual and audio appliances when smoke, fire, carbon monoxide or other emergencies are present.

These alarms may be activated automatically from smoke detectors, and heat detectors or may also be activated via manual fire alarm activation devices such as manual call points or pull stations.

Alarms can be either motorized bells or wall mountable sounders or horns.

They can also be speaker strobes which sound an alarm, followed by a voice evacuation message which warns people inside the building not to use the elevators.

Fire alarm sounders can be set to certain frequencies and different tones including low, medium and high, depending on the country and manufacturer of the device.

Most fire alarm systems in Europe sound like a siren with alternating frequencies.

Fire alarm electronic devices are known as horns in the United States and Canada can be either continuous or set to different codes such as Code 3.

Fire alarm warning devices can also be set to different volume levels.

Fire Alarm systems in the United Kingdom are tested at a weekly basis in compliance with the BS-fire 2013 regulations.

A fire hose (or firehose) is a high-pressure hose that carries water or other fire retardant (such as foam) to a fire to extinguish it.

Outdoors, it attaches either to a fire engine or a fire hydrant.

Indoors, it can permanently attach to a building's standpipe or plumbing system.
