What happens when a fire breaks out in a manufacturing facility? If the facility is code compliant, it is equipped with an integrated fire detection, alarm and sprinkler system. The detectors sense the presence of smoke, alarms sound and the fire department is summoned. In the meantime, building occupants are given instructions, and the sprinklers activate in the area where the fire is located. The water contains the fire and provides protection for the occupants until the fire department arrives and extinguishes the fire.
