Wall hydrants

Wall hydrants are water tapping points that are permanently installed in the building. They should be installed in such a way that they are easily accessible and quickly reachable in case of fire, for example near escape doors or staircases. To prevent smoke from entering escape routes, wall hydrants should be installed in such a way that the function of smoke protection doors is not impaired by the installed hose line. The hose line is used for firefighting by company employees and, of course, by the fire brigade.
Due to the continuous flow of the extinguishing agent from the water supply, uninterrupted firefighting is possible with a wall hydrant. Wall hydrants are supplied by a pressurised water pipe. As fire protection experts, we will be happy to advise you on which extinguishing water technology is suitable for you and also assist you with installation and maintenance. Please contact us.

Fire extinguishing and fire protection systems

Fire extinguishing and fire protection systems are important facilities for preventive fire protection. Like other measures, they serve to fight fires and thus to rescue and protect people. Since fire extinguishing and fire protection systems are normally very rarely in operation, they are constantly filled with water and are not flushed through like duaer.
If these systems are directly connected to the drinking water installation, high requirements must be met to protect the drinking water quality. There is a risk that the water will become contaminated and thus hygienically questionable. Because water is essential for life, compliance with the Drinking Water Ordinance is extremely important in fire protection.
On the fire protection side, the Drinking Water Ordinance affects the operators of properties with wall hydrants. Operators must ensure that water that is not of drinking water quality is not allowed to flow back into the drinking water network. This applies to rainwater, as well as to water from heating systems, but also from fire extinguishing pipes. As fire protection experts, we will be happy to advise you on which extinguishing water technology is suitable for you and also assist you with installation and maintenance. Please contact us.

Dry lines

The dry riser enables the fire brigade to connect the hoses directly to the source of extinguishing water in case of fire. This saves a lot of time in an emergency, as the fire brigade does not have to lay hoses to the scene of the fire.
With a dry riser, the extinguishing water is only fed in by the fire brigade in the event of a fire. The point for the feed must be easily accessible and is in most cases located outside the building. In a nutshell:
A dry extinguishing water pipe
- Brings the fire brigade's extinguishing performance by feeding it into the building
- Offers high extinguishing performance and reliability
- is protected from unauthorised use

Emergency and safety lighting - Finding the right way in case of fire.

Emergency and safety lighting is of outstanding importance in the evacuation and clearance of buildings, as may be the case in fire incidents with power failure. It is intended to ensure that all areas in a building can be safely evacuated in the event of an emergency.

An important component of emergency lighting is the uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which is supported either decentrally via individual batteries in the luminaires or via a central second power supply system. To ensure that people can find their way out quickly and safely in an emergency, an emergency or safety lighting system is mandatory for workplaces, places of assembly, accommodation facilities and escape and rescue routes. The operators are responsible for the functionality of the systems. As fire protection experts, we will be happy to advise you on which concept is right for you and also assist you with installation and maintenance. Please contact us.

Fire doors

Fire can develop a destructive power and spread very quickly. Preventive fire protection helps to prevent fires from starting in the first place or to fight them effectively in the event of a fire. Fire protection measures in the door area take on an important role here: fire protection doors delay the passage of fire and give people inside the building a life-saving head start.

Self-closing doors primarily have the task of securing openings in fire-retardant or fire-resistant walls against the passage of fire. Reliable closing of the doors in case of fire is essential.

The fire resistance duration of fire protection doors is characterised by fire resistance classes. The classification is currently regulated by the German standard. Tip: Numerous requirements must be taken into account for fire protection doors. As fire protection experts, we will be happy to advise you on which concept is suitable for you and also accompany you during installation and maintenance. Please contact us.

Fire protection on campsites

Motorhomes and caravans have experienced an additional boom during the Corona pandemic. With the start of the outdoor season and the upcoming holiday season, we would like to inform you about potential fire hazards posed by camping cookers, radiant heaters, gas bottles, barbecues, etc.. These are all sources of danger for the development of fires - and in a very confined space, especially on busy campsites during the summer months.

We therefore recommend preventive measures for operators as well as for every campsite guest. The camper himself should equip his vehicle with fire extinguishers, gas and smoke alarms. Smoke alarms warn if there is smoke or smouldering somewhere, often even before the fire starts. They are particularly life-saving at night, when the sense of smell is switched off during sleep. The equipment of the vehicles is one thing, preventive fire protection measures on the campsite are another. The operating regulations for campsites and weekend sites provide important information on this. As the operator, please observe the state regulations. As a specialised company, we will be happy to support you in implementing the necessary measures. Please contact us.

Fire extinguisher

Did you know that not every fire extinguisher is suitable for every fire? And did you know that lithium-ion batteries are not safe to extinguish with conventional extinguishing agents? Using the wrong extinguishing agents can increase the fire instead of containing the source of the fire. The classic: If there is a grease fire in the kitchen, just quickly pour the water from the measuring jug over it. No! Here it is important to select the fire extinguisher according to the possible areas of application. But when exactly do I extinguish with powder, water, foam or gel? The fire class classification gives you orientation and helps you to make the right choice. Or you can ask us. We have the right extinguishing agents for every application. Talk to us.

Lightning protection systems

Natural disasters and extreme weather conditions have increased in recent years. Thunderstorm fronts with lightning strikes are also on the increase. A lightning strike can have devastating consequences - for the building and, in the worst case, also endanger human life. Did you know that surges can still spread and cause damage within a radius of 2 kilometres? Lightning protection systems offer professional protection and are already mandatory for many buildings. But the installation of lightning protection systems is also an important component of fire protection for other businesses, facilities and companies. Basically, we distinguish between external and internal lightning protection. Only the combination of both protective functions offers you optimum lightning protection.

As fire protection experts, we will be happy to advise you on which concept is suitable for you and also accompany you during installation and maintenance. A holistic fire protection concept helps to set up all the necessary structural, technical and organisational measures that prevent the spread of fire in an emergency and, above all, make it possible to rescue people in the event of a fire. It is important that the concept fits the building concerned and the use of the building.

We support you with our complete range of services in the implementation of your fire protection concept. Talk to us.

Fire alarm systems

Fire alarm systems are of great importance in system-based fire protection. They cannot prevent or extinguish fires, but they do make a significant contribution to reducing both personal injury and property damage to a considerable extent.

The fire alarm system with automatic detectors ensures that fires are noticed as early as possible, the fire brigade is informed as quickly as possible, people are warned as early as possible, important fire protection equipment such as lifts, smoke protection doors or ventilation systems are activated and the fire brigade is given the fastest possible access.

Three reasons why a fire alarm system must be installed:

1.Building law requirement
2. default/agreement from the insurer
3.Operator for protection

Fire alarm systems are required in fire protection concepts as a so-called compensatory measure for deficits or deviations in structural fire protection. Here, personal protection is the top priority.

We support you with advice, planning, installation and maintenance of your fire alarm system. Talk to us.

Electric cars in underground garages

With the growing number of electric vehicles, there has also been a noticeable increase in accidents involving electric vehicles in recent years. Here, when fighting vehicle fires of hybrid and electric vehicles, there are also potential dangers for the emergency services. ext Hybrid in TG: From the DGUV, it is clear that in the event of a fire in the interior of the e-vehicle, total loss occurs after only a short time, which is why low-risk deployment tactics should be chosen whenever possible. In such incidents, the extinguishing behaviour of electric vehicles in particular is always in focus. For this reason, it is extremely important to alert the fire brigade at an early stage so that the extinguishing process and the protection of human life and parts of the building can begin at an early stage. For this purpose, we support you in planning, among other things, a hazard alarm/fire detection system and corresponding extinguishing equipment (such as suitable fire extinguishers and extinguishing water equipment).

E-bike/E-scooter

Time and again, dangerous fires and explosions occur due to e-bike and e-scooter batteries. This happens very often when charging the batteries. These are very often charged unattended over a longer period of time. In this case, it is also very important to react and raise the alarm at an early stage. For this purpose, it is advisable to have special gel fire extinguishers for the initial extinguishing of a battery fire. It is also very important to sound the alarm at an early stage via suitable smoke detectors or a danger/fire alarm system in order to minimise the spread of the fire damage. Our fire protection officers are at your disposal and will plan the necessary measures for you. In addition, it is extremely important to alert the fire brigade at an early stage so that the extinguishing process and the protection of human life and parts of the building can be started at an early stage. For this purpose, we support you in planning, among other things, a hazard alarm/fire detection system and appropriate extinguishing equipment (such as suitable fire extinguishers and extinguishing water equipment).

Lightning protection systems

Lightning strikes are more common than one might think. What does the property owner or homeowner need to consider? Basically, we distinguish between external and internal lightning protection. Only the combination of both protective functions offers you optimal lightning protection. Talk to us. We will be happy to advise you.

Fire protection for camping and weekend sites

Camping has been booming not only since the Corona pandemic. For users and operators of camping and weekend sites, fire protection is an essential quality and safety aspect. Electrical defects, drought and lightning hazards during storms as well as human error increase fire risks. Talk to us. We will be happy to advise you on topics such as fire protection strips or extinguishing water supply.
