COLUMBUS, Ohio - April 28, 2017 - PRLog -- Hard Fire, a fire protection company in Ohio, is offering tips and steps to take after an alarm has sounded at a commercial business. Fire alarms are one of the most effective ways to alert a building's occupants that there is a fire and that everyone needs to evacuate as quickly and safely as possible. If a fire breaks out in a commercial building and one of Hard Fire's fire protection systems has been installed, an alarm will begin to sound. But, what are some of the initial steps to take?

The fire protection company recommends that everyone familiarize themselves with what to do in the event of a fire.

First, prepare ahead of time. One of the first things to do after a fire protection system has been installed, is to come up with a plan for a safe evacuation. Make sure employees know the quickest evacuation route in case of an emergency, plus where to meet outside once they have evacuated. All employees should know where fire extinguishers are and how to operate them.

And, the notifications a business' commercial fire protection systems will provide depend on the type of system you have had installed. But, the commercial fire protection systems will most likely immediately notify the proper emergency personnel, alerting them to come and extinguish the flames. Sprinkler systems may also be activated soon after the alarm sounds as sprinkler heads are heat-activated and will kick on as soon as they sense high temperatures. No matter what, a fire suppression system should be installed in any business, whether it be mist or clean agent fire suppressions agents. The type of suppression system will depend on your business and the equipment used within it.

Once the fire department has put out the fire, they will let occupants know if it's safe to reenter the building. Finally, be sure to contact the business' insurance company to figure out next steps. They are great at advising on what to do to file a claim and will likely send an insurance adjuster out to assess and evaluate any damage the building may have sustained.

Commercial fire protection systems are designed to help give people time to safely evacuate their building in the event that a fire breaks out. So, it is also important to have commercial fire protection systems inspected on a regular basis to ensure they are working properly.
