A new centrally controlled fire alarm/emergency communications system ensures students, faculty, staff and visitors receive emergency communications during a disaster.
Unlike conventional fire detection, where smoke or heat must impinge on an individual sensor, video fire detection (VFD) depends on software.
As building design evolves to accommodate present-day conditions, addressable security and fire and life-safety systems are more important than ever. Fire and life-safety systems are becoming more flexible, efficient and responsive, giving campuses cost-efficient, integrated options.
Because of the inability to evacuate patients/residents vertically from a healthcare facility, the fire and life safety system serves as part of the whole life safety program. Code, training and equipment are all vital to healthcare fire and life safety.
