For private households, fires that destroy property and often take human lives the greatest danger. Most often, fires occur due to the fault of the owners themselves. This can be taken out of careless handling of fire, damaged electrical wiring, home -made household appliances or not on time maintenance of the mains.
Fire safety in residential buildings is a very important factor in housing construction. Moreover, today there is a wide variety of automatic warning and extinguishing systems. It is easier to warn the fire than to extinguish, so fire safety must be paid special attention.
Before starting construction, at the stage of designing the future home, you need to decide on its location. The distance from neighboring houses and other buildings should be at least 10 meters. There should also be the same «fire breaks» on its own site. It is necessary to provide free access of vehicles to all buildings on the site.
When choosing materials for building a house, we will take into account their ability to spontaneous combustion. It is preferable to use non -combustible materials, such as a brick or foam concrete. Of course, no one forbids the use of wood, but it must be subjected to special processing with fire -retreating compounds and do not forget to periodically repeat the processing. It is recommended to use only non -combustible materials for the construction of inter -story and attic floors to prevent the possibility of rapidly spreading fire throughout the structure.
Fire safety in residential buildings is ensured by electronic systems. The main types of fire sensors include smoke and thermal, gas sensors and open flame. In private houses, sensors are installed in potential fire hazardous rooms: electrical panel, boiler room, garage, etc. D.
Together with sensors, an automatic fire extinguishing system can be installed. The most acceptable are powder fire extinguishing modules. Compared to the rest, they favorably differ in low cost, ease of maintenance and environmentally safe. In addition, such modules can work from sensors signals, as well as when exceeding a critical temperature.
