Mechasolusindo International, PT., (MSI), as a provider of end-to-end solutions for telecommunication systems, security systems, and control systems makes Fire Protection part of the scope of work offered by the control system. 

Fire protection is an action taken (preventive fire protection or fire prevention) to protect life and assets by taking steps to prevent destructive fires and reduce the impact of fires that get out of control.

Today’s business growth requires large investments and is very competitive, so the risk of eliminating potential business failures with loss of life and assets due to fire is very important and cannot be ignored. Life and asset protection against fire is an integrated part of a company’s business processes. Failure due to neglect of life and asset safety due to fire will eliminate all investments that have been invested.

Therefore, the importance of equipment that can prevent and protect against risks due to fire is the most important thing in protecting life and assets.

Fire Protection Tools work in different ways even though they have the same function to anticipate potential fires and protect them.

How do you determine the right equipment or material for fire protection purposes?

There are many considerations and studies that must be carried out, including paying attention to and considering the facilities to be protected, compliance with codes and standards, local and international regulations, as well as requirements set by insurance agencies.

Within the scope of fire protection, there are two types of fire protection, the two types of fire protection work together to help stop and overcome the threat of fire either individually or together to protect and extinguish fires, namely:

• Passive fire protection is a barrier or shield, to stop the spread or propagation of fire from one area to another and is not directly related to fire warning or prevention, but is implemented through the arrangement of building components so as to support fire prevention efforts. Examples of passive fire protection are fire-resistant masonry construction, fire-resistant interior materials, smoke and fire barrier partitions, fire walls/fire cells, fire doors & glass both with fire-resistant frames and hardware accordingly, as support for firefighting and rescue efforts. souls, the arrangement of building plans and access routes for people and firefighters are laid out in such a way as to make it easy and fast.
• Active fire protection is fire protection with manual or automatic action on detection and countermeasures designed to detect and extinguish fire directly. Some of the active fire protection devices include;
  • Fire alarm systems are designed and built to detect a fire early so that it can give everyone time to evacuate.
  • Fire suppression and sprinkler system are hardware and software system designed and manufactured as fire suppression and protection device containing fire extinguishing agents such as CO2, inert gas, foam, or water mist.
  • Emergency lights are designed and built to work automatically by providing illumination for everyone during an evacuation in the event that all power supplies are out.
  • Smoke ventilation, including automatic ventilation that functions to allow smoke to escape from protected areas or areas where life is in danger.
  • Emergency voice communication system (EVAC) is a two-way duplex voice communication system that provides voice services during the evacuation process, voice services can be evacuation instructions or announcements relating to hazardous events.
  • Dry and wet risers are valves and pipes that provide access for firefighters to extinguish by pumping water into the protected area.
  • Public Address (PA) is a voice communication system that functions to convey voice messages either manually or previously recorded during an emergency or evacuation.
  • Fire hose reel is a fire extinguisher used by anyone who is trained or has the authority to extinguish fires, with water at a certain pressure.
  • A portable fire extinguisher is a lightweight fire extinguisher that a person can carry and can contain a fire extinguishing agent.
