How to Prevent Warehouse Fires

Preventing fire from erupting in a warehouse poses unique challenges due to the vast amount of flammable materials spread out over significant areas.  Preventing warehouse fires takes constant awareness of local code requirements along with regular internal inspections and external inspections from certified fire alarm system companies. Warehouses may tend to accumulate congested areas where boxes are stacked too close to exits and aisles can quickly become congested.

If warehouses are storing chemicals or flammable liquids there is an additional risk of fire erupting in addition to the typical numerous corrugated boxes which are highly flammable. Companies must also check their portable fire extinguishers with internal inspections and follow proper safety procedures when using electrical devices, extension cords or heating elements.

Installing the right type of fire alarm system for your warehouse operations is key to providing safety to your building, inventory and employees. Fire alarm systems should be designed for each unique building structure with consideration of the operation and materials used. The right type of smoke and fire detection equipment must be installed in the right locations according to code requirements with special consideration of unique instances.

Regular bi-annual internal inspections and annual fire alarm system inspections from certified fire alarm companies are required to ensure there is no interruption in fire protection. Fire alarm system inspections and testing may reveal a faulty component that could lead to a system failure, thus preventing catastrophic results.
