Fire Prevention Experts LA County
Avoiding the outbreak of fire is certainly a worthwhile goal for any homeowner or business owner—that’s a statement with which anyone can readily agree. Even so, many homes and businesses in Southern California simply fail to enforce an adequate fire prevention program, and as a result, they leave themselves vulnerable to disaster.
Part of the problem is that applying proper fire safety standards and procedures goes beyond just “common sense.” It requires a lot of specialized knowledge to make a full assessment of the various fire hazards present in a particular structure. With years of experience in the industry, Fraker Fire Protection Inc. is the resource you can turn to for fire prevention inspections and guidance.
Fire Prevention Vs. Fire Protection
Fire prevention is often confused with fire protection. Although these two aspects of fire safety complement each other, they focus on different things.
- Fire prevention – This involves taking steps to prevent fires—for example, by removing flammable materials. Appropriate prevention measures include inspections, testing of fire suppression equipment, performing risk assessments, and practicing fire drills.
- Fire protection – This involves installing and properly maintaining various devices and systems—such as fire alarms, smoke detectors, and wet pipe sprinkler systems—designed to aid in preventing and/or suppressing fires.
Fraker Fire Protection Inc. performs comprehensive fire prevention inspections that identify potential hazards and enable you to take action to eliminate them.
