As a property owner or business manager, fire safety isn’t just a “check-the-box” task—it’s the thin line between a minor incident and a total loss. Whether you manage a commercial facility in New Hampshire or own a home in Northern Massachusetts, understanding the full scope of fire protection is essential for staying compliant and, more importantly, staying safe.
In this guide, we break down the critical fire safety services every property needs and how LHR Fire Protection helps you maintain a “set it and forget it” level of safety.
1. Fire Sprinkler Systems: Your First Line of Defense
A fire sprinkler system is arguably the most effective tool in fire suppression. Unlike what you see in the movies, sprinklers don’t all go off at once; they respond individually to heat, often extinguishing a fire before the fire department even arrives.
At LHR Fire Protection, we specialize in four key types of systems:
- Wet Pipe Systems: The most common and reliable for standard environments.
- Dry Pipe Systems: Essential for unheated spaces (like warehouses) where pipes might freeze.
- Pre-Action Systems: Ideal for sensitive areas like data centers where accidental discharge must be avoided.
- Deluge Systems: Used in high-hazard industrial zones.
SEO Tip: Regularsprinkler inspections are not just a recommendation—they are required by NFPA codes to ensure your system doesn’t fail when it’s needed most.
2. Advanced Fire Alarm Systems: Early Detection Saves Lives
While sprinklers fight the fire, alarms give you the time to evacuate. A modern fire alarm system is a complex network of smoke detectors, heat sensors, pull stations, and notification appliances (horns and strobes).
Importantly, a professionally monitored fire alarm system does more than just sound a siren; it immediately alerts emergency services the moment a fire is detected. This automated notification ensures a much quicker response from the fire department, potentially saving your property from significant damage.
We don’t just install these systems; we provide comprehensive monitoring and maintenance to ensure your panel never shows a “trouble” light that goes ignored.
3. Commercial Kitchen Hood Suppression
For restaurant owners, the kitchen is the highest-risk area for fires. Grease fires move fast and can’t be put out with water. Our Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression services ensure that your nozzles are positioned correctly, your fusible links are replaced annually, and your gas shut-off valves are fully functional.
4. Fire Extinguishers and Emergency Lighting
Sometimes, the smallest tools are the most important.
- Extinguishers: We help you determine the right class (A, B, C, D, or K) and quantity for your specific building layout. However, simply having an extinguisher isn’t enough—it must be functioning properly. Annual inspections are a legal requirement to ensure that every unit is pressurized and ready for immediate use.
- E-Lights: Often overlooked, emergency lighting and exit signs provide a clear “means of egress” when the power goes out. We offer digital reporting and barcoding to make your annual 90-minute run-time tests seamless.
