Fire Exit Security

Fires start anytime and anywhere, highly populated and confined areas present a problem in safety. When a fire breaks out in a building with lots of people in it or a 2-story house, the first thing people would look for are the fire exits. Fire Exit Security does not pertain to just that green of red sign with an arrow on it or fire drills. Fire Exit Security is the total building or house provision concerning total fire safety.

In a home...a ladder or a fire escape is required and needed when all doorways are impassable. A familiar Fire Exit sign are put for the guest (who is clueless on where to go) and for the family members (in a state of disorientation its a good reminder). Fire Extinguishers going to the fire exit is also a form of security, clearing the way of flames or heat for others who haven't made their way yet to pass safely. Windows which are functioning are also a fire exit security, rescue may have to be done through it. Barring windows are a fire security hazard, making escape impossible specially when the fire is at the doorway of that room.

In an office or school building...a multitude of people fearing for their lives and wanting to leave the place at the same time is why the building code specifically requires proper fire exits. Fire Exit Security are the accessibility of floor diagrams or maps to lead people to exits, fire alarms, extinguishers at stair wells, fire exit lit signs, fire safety signs, fire exit doors that function properly.

Passing inspection is not the only way to provide proper fire safety...workingbut padlocked exits are useless when there is a fire... expired fire extinguishers are also useless in safety...old and un-updated diagrams and maps will have people going around in circles until they lose consciousness...fire escapes that stop at a 15-20 foot drop is adding insult to injury.

Fire Exit Security is complying with the required provisions for safety, a short-cut or an omission can cost someones life. Fire safety preparedness is sound if Fire Exit Security is complete and functioning.
