Fire Safety Tips for Property Buyers

Have you ever wondered what would happen if external factors such as fire damaged your property? What if due to mere negligence, there’s an onset of fire at your property? No matter if it’s a commercial or residential possession, it must be carefully packed with all the necessary safety and security equipment to safeguard your valuables as well as the premises. Here, in this article, we detail out some safety tips that will help you deal with such un-called-for incidences in the most convenient manners. 

1. One of the best ways to detect such an abnormal situation is by installing smoke detectors in and around the property and linking the tracker to your smartphone. So, every time there’s a waft of smoke you will be signalled to deal with the situation. 
2. Most of the times, a commercial property catches fire due to short circuits. So, it’s essential to get switch boards and electric sockets inspected at regular intervals.
3. Have a fire safety equipment such as a handy fire extinguisher installed at your commercial space. Ensure, it’s placed in a corner that’s easily accessible by everyone so that in case of a fire anyone can conveniently access it and put off the fire. Remember to replace or service the equipment from time to time. 
4. Have a designated area in your commercial space where people can be safe until the professional fire fighters come to your rescue and tackle the situation. 
5. It’s essential that you know the entire layout of the place really well so that you are aware of the escape route you may have to use in case of a mishap. Avoid using the lift if a fire has broken out. Instead, take the stairs to get out. 
6. In case you are stuck and cannot get out, it’s best to shut all the doors and cover the gaps of the door with clothes. This will keep the smoke out and allow you to breathe easy and better.
7. If you use a burner or have an LPG stove at your commercial space, make sure of keeping it on raised non-combustible platforms. In case of LPG leakage, open all the doors and windows of the space and call for help immediately. 
8. Whatever burns, will obviously not return. So, avoid entering the property that has caught fire. 
9. Evacuate the place, raise an alarm and immediately call the fire department. 

Just remember, you’ve built/bought the property from your hard earned money. So, the safer you play today, the secure you live tomorrow. As a mandate by the realty authorities, all the upcoming commercialprojects in Gurgaon have proper safety and security features installed for the protection of the owners and their valuable belongings.
