Electrical fires can quickly spin out of control, and you can easily make the situation much worse unless you know how to handle this particular type of blaze long enough for everyone to get to safety. Older buildings are particularly prone to electrical fires as the wiring can degrade over time. Many years of hard use can cause outlets to become loose and wiring to lose some of the outside protective covering, which can cause sparks. When something nearby ignites, an electrical fire can grow quickly. Here are safety tips that will help minimize the possibility of this type of damaging fire. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every business has its own standard terminology, and when you don\u2019t know the language it can make you feel as though you are on the outside looking in. Fire protection and prevention is no different, with a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfpa.org\/-\/media\/Files\/Codes-and-standards\/Glossary-of-terms\/glossary_of_terms_2019.ashx?la=en\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">full glossary of terms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> available from the National Fire Protection Association. Don\u2019t want to go through the full list of fire terms? Here\u2019s a quick breakdown of the most important terms that you need to know to keep your business safe from fires.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Components of Fire Alarm Systems<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire alarm systems can contain a variety of different components that are targeted to providing notifications to building occupants or fire protection teams in the event of an emergency. A fire alarm system is often made up of:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alarm system with control panels, produces the audio or visual \u201calarms\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signaling system output device<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Device that provides identification of its unique location, also called an addressable device\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensors or detectors that respond to heat or smoke caused by fire<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detectors placed in your HVAC ducts to detect the location of any smoke in your building<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each of these components work together in a simple fire alarm system to quickly spread the word and get people to safety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of Fire Suppression Systems<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Receiving an alert that there is a fire is only the first step in a comprehensive fire protection solution for your business. Now that the occupants of your buildings and firefighters have been notified there\u2019s a problem, your fire suppression systems step up to the plate. At a high level, there are several different types of fire suppression systems:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaafireprotection.com\/index.php\/our-services\/portable-fire-extinguishers-and-cabinets\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portable fire extinguishers and cabinets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Fire extinguishers can range in size and area coverage, but should be clearly marked and easily accessible. Fire extinguisher cabinets help cover a broader area for industrial use, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaafireprotection.com\/index.php\/our-services\/industrial-fire-systems\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industrial fire systems<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Providing support for your business starts with a full evaluation of where you currently are. Industrial fire systems can include everything from integrated notifications to sub-segments of your audience to sprinklers and other fire suppression equipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaafireprotection.com\/index.php\/our-services\/pre-engineered-restaurant-fire-suppression-systems\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restaurant fire-suppression systems<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Restaurants offer specific challenges when it comes to fires &#8212; grease fires spread quickly and may not respond well to traditional fire protection methods. Fire suppression for restaurants could include shutting down power and fuel to appliances or activating pressurized suppression agents.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaafireprotection.com\/index.php\/our-services\/fire-sprinklers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire sprinklers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While water-based sprinkler systems may be what immediately comes to mind, there are plenty of other options that won\u2019t be as damaging to paper or sensitive electronics in a business setting.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expanding Your Fire Protection Vocabulary<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few bonus terms that will help you better understand the wide wealth of resources available to businesses. If you hear these acronyms, here\u2019s what they mean:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EMT.
