There’s a reason why having a working fire alarm system is required in every building and establishment in Singapore – not only does it prevent and minimize fire damage to property, but it also saves people’s lives.

Being familiar with the different types of fire detection lets you know what you need for your office along with what you need to do in the case of an emergency.

These are the types of fire detection systems that you need to know about:

Control Panel Systems
A centralized fire alarm grid is likely to be automated and will use a control panel that will allow you to monitor its status, configure your system, and an automated signal to your local fire department that there is a fire in the building or vicinity.

Some control panels are also accessible with a voice command prompt, which not only adds an extra layer of security, but also a whole new level of automation to your fire safety systems in your office or workplace.

And if you’re worried that this will be inaccessible in the case of a power outage, there’s no need to worry – most fire alarm system in Singapore also come with their own backup power supply, so they can keep functioning even without electricity. It’s best to ask your local store for more information on the types of fire alarm and back-up power.

Smoke/Fire Detection Systems
Early detection systems are perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when considering fire safety for the whole building. They serve as an early warning system that first responds in the event of a fire emergency.
You can usually see two types of fire detection systems: smoke sensor and fire detector, which appear similar but are quite different in detecting fires.

A smoke detector screens through the air for any smoke or carbon particles in the air caused by fires, while fire sensor works more as a heat sensor that detects small or large sources of fire in the immediate vicinity.
These alarm systems are inexpensive, easy to install (they take as little as thirty minutes to set in place), and they are a good investment that allows you and everyone in the vicinity to quickly respond in the case of an emergency.

The best part about these types of alarms is that they can be connected to a central alarm grid throughout a whole floor, or even a whole building, which allows you to monitor them easily from one location.

Sprinkler Systems
The sprinkler system is a type of fire prevention system that sprays water for a certain period of time when activated, and they work by being connected to both your water line and your other early detection systems, such as smoke or fire sensors.

A working sprinkler is a great emergency system if your office or workplace is a type of environment that deals in a lot of flammable materials, or if the local fire department doesn’t have quick access to or is considerably far from your home.

However, keep in mind that a sprinkler is not the same thing as having a fire extinguisher on hand. Because they use carbon dioxide and chemical foam instead of water, thy may be more appropriate to use in certain types of fire or electrical hazards, since the foam doesn’t conduct electricity.

To make the most out of your fire detection and prevention systems, it’s important to know where you can best place them in your office or workplace to maximize their effectiveness and ease of access.

You will also need proper maintenance to make sure that these alarms and fire prevention systems work, aside from installing them properly by professional technicians.

By replacing or upgrading your fire alarm system and keeping them in good condition necessary for every building in Singapore, you ensure maximum protection for your property from fire damage.
