Trick or Treat! Halloween is Nearly Here – Make Sure Your Family Stays Safe

Halloween can be one of the most fun times of the year. Candy, costumes, hayrides, bobbing for apples: these activities are all synonymous with the holiday. Hard Fire Suppression Systems knows all about how to keep our customers and their properties safe and secure, and we’d like to share some of our knowledge with you.

One of the best sources of information is the National Fire Protection Association. Here is a rundown of some of the tips:

Make sure any materials you use for your costume or your kids’ costumes is not flammable. Try to avoid long-trailing or billowing fabric too.
If you or your kids are wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough that they can be seen through them clearly.
Do not allow your children to carry lit candles while they trick-or-treat. Instead, use a flashlight.
Remember that cornstalks, crepe paper and similar materials are all very flammable. Keep them away from all sources of open flames like candles and bonfires.
Use a battery-operated candle or flashlight inside of a Jack-o’-lantern.
Teach your children how to react if their clothing catches on fire: STOP, DROP AND ROLL!

If you follow these tips this Halloween, you and your loved ones should be safe and secure. With this information, you can prepare yourself, your home and your kids and have a safe and fun Halloween!

Fire Alarm System Types

There are several types of fire alarm systems, each created to serve a certain purpose. These different fire alarms are differentiated by a single letter. We've described each fire alarm system below. Are any of these present in your Cleveland business? M Fire Alarm Systems The "M" here stands for "manual," which is how these fire alarm systems are activated. M alarms are usually placed in locations throughout a building, as well as near fire escape doors and staircases. L Fire Alarm Systems These systems, which are designed to preserve life (hence the "L"), are set to automatically alert those inside a home or building to the potential danger of a fire, so that an escape can be made before the fire spreads.

What is a Fire Suppression System?

Fire Suppression System is an umbrella term that includes products like fire sprinkler systems, gas fire suppressants, and wet & dry chemical agents. A type of fire suppression system that is becoming increasingly popular today is the gas fire suppressant, also called a Clean Agent Fire Suppressant. Instead of using water, like a traditional fire sprinkler system, a clean agent fire suppressant uses gas to break down a fire at the molecular level. The gas reduces the fire's fuel, reduces its heat, reduces or isolates its oxygen and stops the chain reaction that occurs as a result of the above three steps. This method also leaves behind no residue, creates far less damage and doesn't require the expensive cleanup that a water sprinkler system does.
