New life saving fire technology in development

It has been revealed that scientists in Scotland have been working on fire technology that is designed to reduce the number of fire-related deaths by predicting the manner in which a blaze will spread through a building.

The technique utilises sensors which are placed in buildings on fire and data is fed into computer models set up to assist fire crews in working out how the fire is likely to progress.

This development could help by saving the critical time taken by firefighters in determining how the fire will act, with this warning serving invaluable in containing its impact and minimising the effects of the blaze.

Fire safety equipment should be an essential component within the security procedures of every business in order to ensure the welfare of employees and serve as a warning should a fire break out on the premises. As well as fire alarms to alert staff of the impending danger, there also needs to be the required fire-fighting equipment in place too, to comply with all current regulations.

Fire training courses are now available so you can make sure that your staff is trained in fire awareness, with selected competent individuals being put forward as fire wardens for the company.
