Fire safety equipment refers to the tools and devices used to prevent, control, or extinguish fires, and protect individuals during fire emergencies. Common fire safety equipment includes:
1. Fire Extinguishers: These are portable devices used to put out small fires by discharging a specific substance like water, foam, or dry chemicals.
2. Fire Alarms: These systems alert people to the presence of fire or smoke, allowing them to evacuate in time.
3. Fire Blankets: Used to smother small fires, particularly in kitchens or around electrical equipment.
4. Fire Hose Reels: These are hoses with water used to fight fires in their initial stages, typically installed in public buildings.
5. Sprinkler Systems: Automatically activate when heat from a fire is detected and discharge water to control the fire.
6. Smoke Detectors: Devices that sense smoke and trigger alarms to alert occupants.
Fire safety equipment is essential for reducing risks and ensuring the safety of individuals in a building or hotel during a fire emergency.
