Fire Alarm Systems

Detect • Alert • Contain

There are countless ways a fire can start in your property, but only one way to save lives and contain the damage: a fire alarm system that is up-to-date and up-to-code. Homeowners and businesses around Seattle and the Greater Puget Sound area turn to Klepps Inc. for the very best fire alarm upgrades, installation and service.

How a Commercial Fire Alarm System Works:

Most people are familiar with how a residential smoke detector works. At the first detection of smoke, an alarm sounds that alerts inhabitants to exit the home. Commercial fire alarm systems take this concept to a whole new level:

• Detection
• Alert
• Containment

Smoke detection sensors will be placed in every room and hallway in addition to other internal areas that might not be commonly trafficked by people. The authority having jurisdiction over your property (NFPA codes and standards; WAC – Washington Administrative Code; City’s specific requirements, etc.) will determine the level of sensor coverage your commercial property needs. Pull Stations allow people who see a fire to manually activate the fire alarm system.

Once smoke is detected, both a visual (strobe light) and audio (high-decibel alarm) will sound. In larger structures, signals will direct people away from the danger and to the nearest available exit in the opposite direction from the fire.

Larger commercial fire alarm systems feed detection data into a dialer that can automatically contact your local fire department and tell first responders exactly where a fire is. The faster you can direct fire personnel to where the fire is, the faster they can put the fire out before it spreads. This real time data also prevents water damage in unaffected areas. Commercial fire alarms are often part of a comprehensive fire alarm system that includes water sprinklers and other forms of suppression such as foam or gas.
