Record Handling Rack Fire Suppression System
Records have an increased risk of fire- and smoke-related damage, more than many other materials. The nature of most archives and records often means that they consist of or have large amounts of very dry and old paper and books — items that are often highly flammable, as well as irreplaceable if a fire were to occur. Every archive or record repository, therefore, needs to take active steps to help prevent fires and to help reduce any potential damage to the building and its contents in the event of a fire.
Types of Fire Protection Systems
Fire protection systems are categorized as active or passive depending on whether or not they perform an action to help extinguish the flames or alert people to the presence of the fire or whether their presence is enough to help block the spread of smoke and flame by itself.
Active Fire Protection Systems
Active fire protection systems help stop the spread of fire and smoke. By helping to contain the flames, they can help make it easier for active systems to extinguish them.
Passive Fire Protection Systems
Passive systems can help prevent damage to additional areas in the building and can make it safer and easier for occupants to exit.
