Obsession with Fire Protection
January 18, 2012 by admin · Leave a Comment
My wife suffered a major trauma when she was just a little girl. Her family home burned down in the middle of the night. Fortunately, everybody was able to get out safely, but they lost just about everything they owned. Now, 20 years later, she still talks about it all the time, but I didn’t realize how much it had entered her psyche until we had a little boy of our own. Now she’s obsessed with fire protection and wants to put fire retardant spray on everything even the crib bedding where Eric sleeps. Those fumes can’t be good for him. I’ve tried to reason with her, even changing the batteries in our smoke alarms each week, but she just can’t move past this. Any suggestions?

We All Have Memories

Some such as photographs, important documents, kids’ school paperwork, and others are irreplaceable memories we own. I could not imagine life without these things. Soon after I became independent, I purchased a fireproof box. It was large enough to store irreplaceable things in it. All in all these are a great investment. If you have larger objects you would never want wrecked by fire, a fireproof safe would also be a sound investment. Sometimes in the after math of a fire these fireproof boxes and safes are the only remains of your home. Obviously I could live life without these things if worst comes to worst, but I would rather not.
A Very Worthwhile Investment

Fire extinguishers are a very worthwhile investment. You never know when a simple cooking task will break out into a large fire. Many nights of enjoying French fries have started small grease fires. Though we were able to smother them with the pan lid, there is always that chance we will not be able to one day. We had a blender that caught fire, of course after unplugging it the machine was still ablaze. That small investment made a big difference. Mind you, you may never have to use your extinguisher, but I would rather invest in something I would never use, than taking a chance of not having it and losing my home.

Prevention of fires is most important; we know what havoc fire can cause. Loss of life, or injury, colossal damages to property, materials and misery all-round are the outcome of a fire. Wherever fire safety is at peril, such threats are verily worthy of being looked into and nipped in the bud. During construction of building only taking measures for fire prevention is a requisite legally; in fact there is a fire safety policy to be adhered to. However if a fire does occur it is essential we provide for its effective control. Use of fire retardant sprays of different types does this. A Fire retardant basically is a chemical substance which when sprayed over burning material reduces inflammability or delays burning of the material. There are retardants used which work physically by cooling action; fire-fighting foams and gels form this category. Fire retardant spray works as a shroud or coat to control burning. Fire retardants are most commonly used method in fire-fighting.
Security and safety in buildings

Security and safety in buildings often don’t go well together. What makes the building secure on one hand often makes it less safe in a fire or other emergency. Enter the panic bolt, which addresses both needs. For security, you have a bolt that seats in the door frame both top and bottom. This is far superior to just a latch, and makes the door practically impossible to pry open. Safety is addressed by the push bar to which the top and bottom bolts are attached. A simple push on the bar from the inside withdraws both bolts and allows the door to be opened quickly in the event of an emergency. Truly, push bar panic bolts are the best choice for both safety and security.
