California entered the peak of the wildfire season in August, and unfortunately the Bay Area has not been spared from this natural threat. The SCU Lightning Complex fires, which began August 16, have grown to be the second largest wildfire in California history and are still burning east of Silicon Valley.
While the SCU Lightning Complex is more than 75% contained, it is important to remain vigilant and prepared for any potential fire-related threats to your business.
Early detection is the key to minimizing loss from fire damage. Design and build a unique fire protection and detection system that meets both the needs of your business and codes and regulations for your industry and/or property.
- Smoke & Heat Protection
- Waterflow & Sprinkler Monitoring
- Temperature Monitoring
- Elevator Recall
- Duct Detection
- System Inspections
In addition to having the right equipment in place to detect smoke, heat, or fire, it is crucial to have a well-crafted and thorough emergency plan. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) outlines several key topics to include in an emergency plan. While the information below is published on the OSHA Wildfire Preparedness page, each of these items should be included with any fire-related action plan.
- Conditions that will activate the plan
- Chain of command
- Emergency functions and who will perform
- Specific evacuation procedures, including routes and exits
- Procedures for accounting for personnel, customers and visitors
- Equipment for personnel
- Review the plan with worker
