6 modern fire fighting technologies for apartments and high-rise buildings

1. Smoke detector camera

While the smoke sensors used in high-rise buildings today can mistake cigarette smoke or cooking smoke for smoke in the event of a fire, this type of smoke detector is completely different and much more effective.

Specifically, this type of machine uses VISD technology that can detect smoke and fire using only a surveillance camera. When detecting an area with smoke, the machine will use the image captured from the camera to analyze the brightness, heat, movement and color of the smoke. If a fire is detected, the alarm will sound.

2. Smoke detector - Birdi

Using state-of-the-art sensors, Birdi can detect smoke, dust, carbon dioxide, or other toxic substances in the air. If the amount of smoke or toxic substances exceeds the allowable level, Birdi will send you a warning by text message or call, through the phone number that you have previously connected to the system. In case a fire breaks out in your house while you are away, you can still warn or ask your neighbors to help put out the fire in time.

3. Fike fire suppression sensor system

Residents in apartment buildings and office buildings will feel more secure if the place they live or work uses this Fike fire suppression sensor system. Basically, the Fike fire suppression system consists of a fire detection sensor to warn of a fire, connected to a fire mist system.

The advantage of this system is that it can penetrate and extinguish fires in hidden corners covered by furniture to prevent fires from starting when they are still small flames.

4. Ultrasonic fire extinguisher

These fire extinguishers, invented by two students at George Mason University, are said to be a revolution in the fire protection industry.

The basic working principle of this machine is to use sound waves to separate flammable substances from oxygen, thereby preventing the fire from spreading further. Sound waves emitted from the device will also help to quickly extinguish even small flames. In addition, this fire extinguishing method is quite optimal because it does not require water or any chemicals.

5. HI-FOG misting system

Nowadays, most apartment buildings and offices are equipped with fire extinguishers to put out fires. However, this fire extinguishing system is not yet considered the most optimal, the most optimal fire extinguishing system is the mist fire extinguishing system.

When a fire occurs, this misting system will spray millions of extremely small water droplets to increase the contact area between water and fire to quickly extinguish the fire.

The effect of this system is similar to a fire extinguisher but the advantage is that it can be used over a large area to help control the fire as quickly as possible in the building.

6. Exit warning sound system

Although it does not have the function of extinguishing and handling fires, this system will help warn and guide people to escape when a fire occurs. The system not only notifies people of a fire but also gives instructions on where the fire is occurring and what people should do in this case.

In a fire, people often panic, so giving specific instructions via the sound system in an emergency will help people escape quickly, avoiding casualties due to lack of knowledge or being too confused in defending themselves against the fire.
