fire protection systems
Building safety infrastructure
Fire protection systems are the equipment and infrastructure designed to detect, contain, or suppress fires in buildings and other structures.
These include sprinkler systems, fire alarms, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and suppression systems using water, foam, or chemical agents.
The building's fire protection systems are inspected annually.
Building codes typically mandate specific fire protection systems based on occupancy type and structure size.
