Fire Prevention & Safety
Why is fire such an issue in construction? Buildings under construction are largely unprotected— fire-protection systems such as sprinklers, smoke detection, fire alarms, and fire walls are typically nonexistent or not yet operational until a building is near completion. Often times, construction site fires can spread rapidly before the fire department can arrive.
We’re focusing on fire prevention and suppression this month.
