Essential Fire Prevention Tips for Your Business

It has been quite a hot summer with July being one of the hottest on record. Your air conditioner has likely been working overtime in order to keep your employees cool and comfortable all workday long. This additional energy use can put a large amount of stress on your building’s electrical systems, creating a dangerous season for fire. Here at Hard Fire, we are the fire detection experts for Cleveland and the surrounding areas and are here to provide essential fire prevention tips to help keep your property safe.

Go straight to the source of the possible fire hazard; the cooling system. Make sure its fans aren’t running constantly and that their cords aren’t damaged. It also may be time to consider new, safer and more efficient fans. You should clean out any exhaust fans regularly and clear debris out of the vents. Avoid running fans consistently for long periods of time and check to ensure it is dust-free and clean. Dust can settle over the motor and other electrical components and cause faults, which can create fires. Running multiple cooling units together consistently and for long periods of time can also result in overloading and overheating, which presents an opportunity for fires to start.

When was the last time you had your fire detection system inspected? You should consider having your fire detection systems professionally serviced and inspected before the summer is over. It is important to have your office fire detection system inspected once a year by a professional fire detection company such as Hard Fire. These preventative measures are essential in ensuring your system can handle whatever is thrown its way. We can also determine if your system is up-to-date and even recommend a new or updated system if necessary.

Whatever special considerations your office requires, Hard Fire can customize a fire detection system to match. Do you have large servers or other sensitive technical equipment? We can create a system tailored to monitor and keep your office, your employees and your equipment safe.
