Integrated fire protection and suppression systems have recently become a world standard. These systems are suitable for large and architecturally complex structures. They are based on a combination several components and offer the best protection of human lives and property during fires. These are possible components of integrated systems, for instance: Smoke detection Smoke isolation
Fires start at the presence of three basic elements: Combustible materials or fuel Sufficient energy or heat Oxygen To extinguish a fire efficiently, at least one of these elements must be neutralized and removed. Pressurized water mist is a method that extinguishes fires by spraying compressed tiny droplets of water and creating an atmospheric fog.
The greatest hazard of fire is not the exposure to direct flames, but the detrimental effects of spreading smoke and toxic gases. According to recent studies over 90% of fire victims actually suffer from smoke and fume related injuries. Smoke is hazardous and deadly so it must be extracted as efficiently and rapidly as possible
Fire resistant building materials should never fail during a fire emergency. This is teir purpose. Fire protection gear must not cease from functioning and partitions must not collapse. Resilient materials and equipment make safety zones safe and prevent fire and smoke spreading out of control. There are several parameters for fire resistance and fireproofing levels.
Smoke zoning is a relatively new concept in Israel and as such it is sometimes overlooked in smoke and heat extraction plans. As and experienced firm in this field we are aware that in many projects in Israel Iskoor metal walls are set up as smoke zone partitions and improve the efficiency of sprinkler systems.
A fire safety zone is an area surrounded by fire resistant partitions. One of the main principles of fire suppression is that any structure should be divided so fire protection systems would not fail due to their limited capacity. A fire safety zone is isolated from other spaces by fire resistant obstacles such as fire
