When a fire breaks out in a building, it can spread rapidly throughout the property in minutes, putting the lives of everyone inside in danger. Having effective smoke ventilation in place can make all the difference by removing smoke from inside and allowing fresh air in which helps to;
- Keep key areas and escape routes clear and improve visibility so that occupants can safely navigate their way outside
- Prevent people inside from being overcome by smoke
- Greatly reduce the number of injuries and fatalities
- Clear a path for emergency services
- Limit the amount of damage done to the property and its contents
- Delay or prevent a flashover from occurring
