With fire safety in mind, below are a few important facts you should know about basic fire safety equipment.

There are two major categories of fire safety equipment: Portable and fixed. Listed below are the most common types of each.

Portable

  • Fire Extinguishers – A portable fire extinguisher allows you to deal with small fires that are detected soon after ignition. Fire extinguishers should be considered a means of both prevention and protection. It can prevent a small fire growing out of control and spreading beyond the area of origin and blocking off your escape and it helps minimize the risk of harm to persons in the vicinity.
  • Fire Blankets – Fire blankets can be used cretin classes of fires, particularly in situations where burning clothing and small fires involving flammable liquids are involved. In order to be most effective, it is important that the corner or edge of the blanket cover your hands to protect them from the heat of the fire and it is kept between the user and the fire to protect further shield the heat. The blanket should be placed over a burning object or or wrapped around the person with burning clothes. Fire blankets should be designed to the requirements of BS EN 1869:1997 Fire Blankets.

Fixed

  • Fire Hydrants – Fire hydrant systems allow large quantities of water to be distributed to an area engulfed in flames. It is normal for fire hydrant systems to be capable of delivering a virtually unlimited supply of water for use by the fire service. In larger commercial and industrial premises, there is a requirement under building regulations for the installation of private fire hydrants for use by the fire service in the event of a fire. The requirements for fire hydrants are contained in BS 9990:2015 Non-automatic Fire-fighting Systems in Buildings. Code of Practice.
  • Sprinkler Systems – Sprinkler systems are one of the oldest and most reliable methods of detecting and controlling fires automatically. They are primarily intended for property protection, but can have a saving lives if they operate in conjunction with other fire safety provisions. Contrary to popular belief, only heads directly affected by heat will allow water to flow. On almost all occasions only the one or two heads directly over the area of the fire will operate. These will usually be sufficient to control the fire and often extinguish it completely.

/in /by

Boulder Blimp has been giving much love to the fire safety industry this year! Not only by offering custom ADA approved ORIGINAL Inflatable Fire Education Houses and other giant custom inflatables and marketing solutions, but also by keeping brushed up on the hottest fires safety topics!

Seeing as it is almost Valentin’s Day Boulder Blimp would love to keep you safe this month with this important tip:

What to do if a fire starts in your home:

1. Get The Fire Extinguisher: Your fire extinguisher is a one stop preventive measure. Knowing where one is located can help curb the fire instantly, but not always, If the flames are too big, leave the scene immediately. Fire extinguishers are very important and should be installed in every house, no matter if private or commercial.

2. Raise an Alarm: Inform others in the house of the fire situation by screaming out loud. Do not rely on smoke detectors and inform others.

3. Call 911: Pick up your phone and call the fire department after leaving the property, do not stop inside the house searching for your mobile device as you could get caught up in the flames. Rush out, and ask neighbors or passer-by to help you call the fire department.

4. Leave Valuables behind: Never delay the escape from a burning house to find valuables. If necessary, notify the fire safety officers when they arrive of such valuables describing their last known location.

5. Close Doors: Once you crawled out of a room, close the door behind you. Research has proven that closing doors can help prevents fire from spreading.

6. Stay Out: Once you are out of the house, stay out. Even if you left your animals or property behind. Notify the fire department officers immediately if you believe people or pets are still in the house and direct them to where they could be.

9. Safety Evacuation Spot: After the evacuation, meet the rest of the family members in a predetermined location and remain there until everyone in the household is rescued. This is done to prevent fire officers from searching for people who are already out of the fire.

Fire Alarms in the home

Not only do we here at Boulder Blimp and Inflatablefireeducationhouse.com have a passion for creating custom giant inflatable marketing products and Fire Safety Inflatables, we are also passionate safety in the home. Knowing best practices for fire and smoke alarms is a big part of being safe and protecting what you love! Below are a few tips to create a safer home.

In addition to the minimum requirement of one smoke alarm per level, Fire and Rescue NSW research recommends installing smoke alarms in all bedrooms and living spaces including hallways and stairways and even the garage.

Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

On levels without bedrooms, install alarms in the living room, den and family room, or near the stairway to the upper level, or in both locations. Avoid fitting smoke alarms in or near your kitchen or bathroom.

It is recommended to replace the batteries in all of your alarms at least once a year, or any time the unit indicates that the battery is low.

The Original Inflatable Fire Safety House is a PERFECT way to help educate on proper fire alarm practices!

Winter Fire Safety Tips

January 20, 2020

Winter is upon us and during these chilly months we tend to spend more time at home with our family and loved ones. What better way to protect them than by making sure your home is protected from any fire hazards? With safety on our minds, Boulder Blimp and inflatablefireeducationhouse.com have teamed up to pull together a few important steps that help make winter fire safety comprehensive and achievable.

Have Furnace Checked

Although this is something that many people believe they can do themselves, it is often safer to invest in hiring a professional to come and inspect your furnace annually. It’s always better to know when something is not working properly than to have it abruptly break down in those cold winter months when you need heat the most.

Check Chimneys & Vents

Fireplaces can produce creosote which has the capability of igniting. If your family lights the fireplace often, you most likely need an annual chimney inspection to make sure that there are no hazards capable of starting a fire. It’s important to always remember that when burning wood, use dry, seasoned wood which produces more flame with less smoke.

Test Smoke Alarms

You always want to double check that your batteries are fresh and will last you through the winter. Always place smoke alarms in the kitchen, bedrooms, and the laundry room.

Cover Fireplace with Screen

Either a metal screen or tempered glass will suffice to protect any sparks from leaving the fireplace. Still, you always want to make sure to keep kids and pets at least three feet away from a burning fireplace.

Beware Of Lit Candles

Although candles can set the mood for a relaxing and calming evening, they can be easily knocked over by kids or pets. Only light candles when you are alert and able to watch them, blowing them out whenever you intend to leave the room.

Beware Of Space Heaters

These devices require a good amount of space to be used without any fire hazards. Just like fireplaces, children and pets should not sit closer than three feet in front of a space heater. Avoid placing heaters near curtains, tablecloths or other flapping fabrics. Always make sure your space heater has an automatic shut off switch, which forces the heater to shut-off as soon as it reaches a dangerously high heat level.
