Features of the Fire Hydrant System
According to the regulation issued in recent years, fire extinguishing devices have become mandatory in all kinds of commercial enterprises, offices, workplaces, hospitals, and buildings. In order to extinguish a fire and prevent it from spreading and causing harm to surroundings or people in the event of an unexpected fire, it is necessary to have fire extinguishing devices and consumables in buildings. The main fire extinguishing devices include TS 671-1 semi-rigid fabric hose fire cabinets, sahara type fire cabinets, above-ground fire hydrants, sprinkler types, 6-12-25-50 kg fire extinguishers, fire extinguishing balls, fire blankets, protective clothing and equipment. These are equipment that must be present everywhere and can be easily used by anyone. The fire hydrants used in combating fires are hydro-pressure systems used for hydrant and sprinkler installations. Great importance should be attached to the connection of fire hydro-pressure systems, which must meet the standards set by the international fire protection association. As specified in the technical specifications, they should be installed to cover the entire perimeter of the building. Additionally, hydrant systems, which should be arranged for easy access and connection by fire trucks and vehicles, can be equipped with jockey pump integration, control panels, alarm, armature equipment, and automatic testing.
Usage Areas of Fire Escapes
Fire escapes, used for evacuating buildings in situations such as natural disasters, fires, and terrorist attacks, are implemented in 2 different ways: double-arm and circular stairs. According to the regulation published in July 2002, it has become mandatory to have fire escapes in buildings, and the specifications and measurements of the stairs required in buildings have been determined. Fire escapes, which are of great importance for human life, are mandatory in all kinds of health, education, accommodation, assembly, office, reformatories, prisons, and commercial buildings. In addition to fire escapes, fire cabinets should also be kept in buildings to prevent fires and stop their spread. It is possible to prevent major damage thanks to fire cabinets used to prevent any loss of life and property. The hydrant system, with a flow rate of at least 1900 liters per minute, should be installed at appropriate points. Furthermore, precautions should be taken by implementing underground and above-ground line shut-off valves.
