Commercial lighting equipment safety information for Goulding

9/20/2019 (Permalink)

Office lighting is the second most common cause of commercial fires – stay safe in Goulding.

One of the most common causes of commercial fires is electrical and lighting equipment, according to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association.) This type of fire is not easily foreseen, as the lighting equipment can appear fine on the outside of your Goulding business. SERVPRO® of North Pensacola wants to share the following information about commercial fires and how safety equipment helps to lessen the damage and assists in preventing any bodily injury:

• Wet pipe sprinklers installed in the ceilings of commercial buildings are very effective in helping to fight fire(s)
• Building sprinklers should be examined and tested every five years
• There should always be a fire extinguisher in reach inside of a commercial building and they must be checked annually to ensure they are in working order
• If an office building is on fire, exit the building immediately. Do not try to fight the fire yourself
• If there is a lot of smoke inside the building, cover your mouth and nose and do your best to not inhale any of it

In the unfortunate event that a commercial building does catch fire in Goulding, rest assured that SERVPRO of North Pensacola is prepared to help clean up any fire damage the building/area has sustained.
