Business and hazard of fire

• Gas stations are among businesses that are susceptible to fire outbreaks.

• People visit gas stations to refuel their vehicles.

• Often people ignore the potential hazards involved.

• Acknowledging gas station hazards is imperative.

• To stay safe, it is a good idea to have Fire Protection Systems (FPS) (NIST, 2010).

• To install these systems, it involves an integrated approach such as the analysis of building components.

• This analysis goes beyond the underlying code of compliance.

Type of Fire Protection Systems (FPS)

• To address the fire potential in the gas station business, the following system can be used.

• Alarm and Notification Systems:
• Alerts the occupants of a building of a potential fire outbreak.

• Allow immediate response to fire outbreaks.
• These systems are a must in any given facility.
• The systems have a central station that links the alarms (Murasen, 2018).
• Through the central station, it is easy to alert emergency public responders. • These systems provide crucial information regarding fire outbreaks.

How Alarm and Notifications Systems limit fire outbreaks

• These systems limit the spread of fire and toxic gases in the following three ways.

• Alarm and Notification Systems help to stop fires as they are detected early on.

• These systems are the right firefighting equipment (Murasen, 2018).
• Businesses using these systems also need the correct knowledge to operate them.
• To maximize the use of these systems, they need to be well maintained (NIST, 2018). • These systems are useful in AutoCAD floor plan integration.
