A fire safety system makes it possible to secure the safety of an establishment as soon as a sign of fire appears. The fire safety system is a device made up of materials intended to collect all information or orders relating to fire safety, to process them and then to carry out the functions necessary to secure the establishment.

Fire Protection (Safety) System
responsible for triggering evacuation orders, in an attempt to extinguish the fire earlier and facilitate the intervention of emergency services. These functions are provided by a network of devices that must be kept in perfect working order at all times.
Each fire safety system is composed of 2 interconnected blocks: – The Fire Alarm System and the Fire Fighting System. In the event of a fire starting, a fire alarm is used to warn individuals occupying a site or establishment that an incident has just occurred. Fire alarm systems contribute to the security of buildings, both for the safety of people and for the security of movable and immovable property.
For fire detection, this includes in particular: multi-sensor detectors (optical and thermal sensors) smoke detectors, multi-point suction detectors, manual triggers, temperature detectors, flame detectors, cameras, etc. These detectors can be point, linear or suction and are “self-detection” systems. The role of the detectors is to signal the fire as soon as possible to the personnel involved. “Manual” triggers, on the other hand, require human activation to trigger the alarm. All of this equipment is installed in the establishment according to the functional and regulatory specifications of your area, town or country.
The fire fighting system is responsible for triggering safety actions: for instance, automatic shutting down of some technical installations , unlocking the emergency exits, smoke extraction, etc. We have the honor to represent the futuristic fire fighting systems in Oman. manufactured by Sanjiang, a company with over a decade of experience in creating the most innovative products in fire safety system equipment.
