Prevention and Preparation

There are two common phrases you should keep in mind as you consider fire prevention and fire safety for your business or residential property. The first is “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” The second is “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.” Fire Protection Group, Inc. is here to help owners commit to both of these time worn but extremely wise phrases.

Obviously, there is no higher priority for an owner than preventing a fire. When it comes to fire, an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure for very obvious reasons. FPG Inc. provides assistance with ways to prevent fires or nip them in the bud should they occur. Of course, there may be times when sprinklers and other fire prevention and abatement systems are not operational. That’s when it’s necessary to put together a fire watch team to stand guard and ensure that a sudden fire does not endanger the building. (Sometimes, a fire watch in California ensures safety on film sets as well, especially when film lights in buildings are hot enough to set off sprinklers, requiring them to be turned off.)

Of course, there are times when the best laid plans of even the most careful people can literally go up in smoke. At that point, the first priority has to be the safety of residents and employees, while the still very important second priority is minimizing the damage. Such tactics as the thoughtful use of fire escape equipment, including traditional stairs and ladders, are still invaluable. Fire extinguishers, fire pumps, and standpipes for use by firefighters are just some of the ways that you can protect life while minimizing damage to property in the event of a fire with the help of Fire Protection Services, Inc.
