Fire sprinklers protection systems’ saves lives and prevents damage to properties

Dear Editor,

Please permit our company, Fire Sprinkler & Safety Equipment Services, to express our congratulations to the government of Guyana on the construction boom that our country is undergoing. Fire safety is very important for the safety of our citizens. Installing fire sprinklers protection system in your buildings will save lives and helps to prevent damage to property; protecting your occupants is most important in building safety. Many building owners will not consider fire sprinklers protection systems and would install fire extinguishers and smoke detectors for protection. Any fire department or fire protection specialist will advise that when a smoke detector alarm goes off, stop what you are doing and exit immediately.

Let us now consider a building is 8 stories tall and the two bottom floors are on fire and because of rising smoke the smoke detectors in the floors above are going off. Persons may enter into a panic mode when trying to evacuate because of all the smoke, heat and flames. Some occupants may become trapped. Consider fire sprinklers for protection to protect our citizens’ lives. The Guyana National Bureau of Standards Code of Practice for Buildings Part 3: Fire Safety use and Occupancy does stipulate the installation of fire sprinklers protection systems. Please also conform and follow our country’s laws and protect your occupants and your investment. Thank you and may God continue to bless Guyana.

Sincerely,

Vishul Ishwaridin
