Volunteer firemen system alerts
These systems have an almost
exclusively industrial destination, that is in those areas where the human
factor (the employee who has the contractual
obligation to participate in extinguishing any occurring fire) is essential, at the time when the fire is being
extinguished.
What do we know about this
system?
Through this system at the
time a fire is signaled to the PSI (private fire brigade ) headquarters, the
on-duty fireman (who is looking at a synoptic panel) will pres a button to
start very loud warning sirens and optical signals (flashing lights) situated
where the firefighters are located.
On the synoptic panel at the
PSI headquarters corresponding flashing signal lights will be lit presenting
the on-duty fireman with a primary view of the alarm on the premises.
Stage two begins when each
previously appointed employee pushes a confirmation button, which determines a
color change on the synoptic panel for that particular area, and this shows to
the PSI headquarters how many people know about the fire and will act towards
extinguishing it, which is very important for the appropriate decision making
by the on-duty fireman to send help (military firefighters, army forces, etc..)
In these cases information
is of crucial importance for the functioning of the local fire-extinguishing
plan.
This system is already in
use in certain strategic industrial centers throughout Romania.
