Fire safety is an important norm that needs to be considered first for hospitals and healthcare facilities. In hospitals, patients are unable to save themselves during fire emergencies. It is a challenging task to evacuate patients from hospitals during fire emergencies. Healthcare requires protection systems that can detect and extinguish a fire in its earliest stages before it goes out of control and provides more time for flexible evacuation. The management of the hospital should arrange a proper and functional fire alarming and protection system during the construction of a hospital. It also needs 24-hour monitoring, and the staff should be trained for a fire emergency. We have a range of fire protection solutions that complies with the NFPA standard. It will help to control and stop the fire before fire brigade authorities reach your place. Moreover, we support creating awareness of fire safety, mock drills, training, and the steps that need to be employed. Hospitals’ High-risk Areas A hospital is made up of multiple systems that function dynamically. All the functions in hospitals all are work simultaneously in a systematic way. If any of the portions of the system fail, the ultimate it will be damaged and break the healthcare system as a whole of the hospital. Hospitals include laboratories that contain flammable and potentially hazardous chemicals. Also, there are different types of equipment, like MRI and CAT scan machines, that need remarkable responses. Besides, a hospital has accelerators, data centers, kitchens, energy plants, and hazardous materials storage. They are compassionate and complicated to manage fire hazards. Fire Protection Solutions As per section-wise equipment and operation variations, fire suppression systems also vary for effective damage-free Extinguishment. Automatic fire suppression systems allow adequate evacuation time before the environment goes devastated. EMACO offers Water Mist, Clean Agent suppression system in a combination of standpipes and automatic sprinkler systems, depending on the type of fire hazards, along with the smoke management system. Water Mist Fire Protection System Water mist system is a nonconductive and water damage free system. It is perfect for the section which needs a chemical-free extinguishing protection system. The ICU/CCU, operation theater, kitchen, energy plant requires a chemical-free fire protection system. The fire protection system creates water mists using high-pressure to extinguish the fire. In this system, fire mitigates with the evaporation of the water droplets that cool the hazard surrounding by displacing the concentration level of oxygen. It is a tubing system that comprises a series of nozzles and pumps. When the system gets activated, a high-pressure pump forces water through the specialized spray nozzles and creates a droplet of 5 microns diameters and covers the fire. The system is 10x times more effective than conventional fire systems. This system also non-toxic and cause no water damage to the equipment and also provide management of smoke. Clean Agent fire protection System The areas of the hospital, which are sophisticated and water sensitive, need a waterless clean extinguishing system. It’s for Laboratory, Radiology, and Control Room are equipped with electronic components with wires and cables that are water sensitive. The clean agent system is a waterless environment-friendly rapid extinguishment system and also nonconductive. It activated immediately within 10 seconds without leaving any residue. It contains a network of pipes that are connected to the gas cylinders with the discharge nozzles. By smoke or heat detection, the system gets activated and discharge gas through the nozzles. We provide NFPA standard Novec 1230, FM-200, and Inergen gas as clean agent system chemicals. The chemicals of the cleaning agent system minimize ozone depletion risk. Novec 1230 extinguishes fire efficiently by disrupting and displacing oxygen from the fire. FM 200 extinguishes fire by absorbing heat and cooling effects. Also, Inergen reduces fire by replacing oxygen concentration levels. Among these three, the Inergen gas needs around 60 seconds to discharge, which is comparatively long. The agents of the clean agent system are selected for applications as per client requirements and priorities. Standpipes and Automated Fire Sprinkler System In hospitals, the sites that have no electronic or sensitive assets that can be damaged by water droplets, then the automated fire sprinkler system is an excellent solution for that place. A Standpipe is a vertical position built rigid water piping system to which fire hoses can be connected. It allows the manual application of water to the fire. On the other hand, the wet pipe or preaction sprinkler system activates the nearest nozzle primarily to the fire area. Sprinklers system prevent the fire from spreading also allow sufficient time for evacuation. The wet-pipe system diffuses instantly when the alarm activates. But compared to the wet-pipe sprinkler system, the preaction system follows two-stage fire detection for activation. So the preaction system is usually used for protection in hospitals. Smoke Management System For proper evacuation smoke management system is essential. It is intended to protect the occupants while evacuating. The smoke management system is installed in Hospital Corridors and Staircases. It is a manual system that negatively influences the fire floor and keeps smoke from spreading. The system also generates positive pressure in all stairways to create a secure environment for a certain period during a fire hazard. Conclusion In the hospital, effective fire extinguishes, it is imperative to understand how the building intended to work. Proper planning and lots of knowledge are needed to execute an appropriate firefighting solution system. Should consider the effective fire protection system depending on the services and commodities available in the building, the type of fire protection system installed, and the type of destruction may cause due to fire Our team passionately works to train staff and provide the optimum level of protection with the best fire suppression system.
