Fire Proofing

Automated External Defibrillators

Automated External Defibrillators, commonly known as AEDs, are lightweight and portable medical devices that deliver an electric shock through the chest of a person suffering from cardiac arrest. The presence of an AED can mean the difference between life and death for a person suffering from cardiac arrest.

Why are they important?

As mentioned above, AEDs can mean life or death for a person experiencing cardiac arrest. The proper use of an AED significantly improves the chance of surviving, as the victim's chance of doing so drops by roughly 7-10% every minute they are incapacitated. Their portable nature allows them to be used by non medical people, and most often have an automated walkthrough process and visual instructions to ensure their proper deployment. AEDs also diagnose cardiac arrest so that they are not used improperly. Coupled with the rapid use of 911 and a prompt CPR delivery, AEDs are a useful and arguably necessary part of any emergency response plan.

How do AEDs work?

With a computer built-in, AEDs are able to check the heart rhythm of a victim through adhesive electrodes. These electrodes determine whether or not defibrillation is needed. If it is, a recorded and automated voice instructs the deployer to press the clearly labeled shock button on the AED. This shock temporarily stuns the heart, stopping all activity. This pause gives the heart a chance to resume an effective beating pattern. Written instructions also guide the user through the entire process.

Automatic Fire Suppression Systems

Automatic Fire Suppression Systems are, by design, systems that can control and extinguish fires without human interaction. In industrial and commercial settings, an unchecked fire remains one of the greatest threats to life and assets. Automatic fire suppression systems are able to provide fast and reliable protection against fires of most origins, and can do so without the need to be manually operated by a person. Because of this, an automatic fire suppression system can allow for the expedient evacuation of personnel while assets are protected.

How do they work?

Automatic fire suppression systems detect traces of fires, and act and deliver fire suppression accordingly. Most AFS Systems detect through either mechanical or electrical means, and in both cases test for a fluctuation in heat. At a specific temperature, the system activates, usually deploying a pressurized water/chemical component through pipes and sprinkler heads. These systems can be paired with a fire alarm system to aid in the prompt evacuation of a fire site.
