Few decades back, infrastructural planning of a startup revolved around construction, interior design, electricity and so on. However, fire safety and security was not considered as crucial as it is now.
Previously, ignoring of basic norms led to deaths and destruction. Nowadays, fire safety system is an important part of any organization's safety procedures. Many startups and established firms are investing crores to keep their infrastructure out of harm's way.

With commencement of the new era of "Make in India', a huge number of startups are mushrooming at an unbelievable pace. This growth is due to unique ideas and considerable hard work.

Basic fire and safety systems that are imperative for any organization include:
1. Fire alarm: This system aids in locating the exact location/area of fire in the protected premises.
2. Fire pump sets: This is the core of fire sprinkler and fire hydrant system, which aids in generating and maintaining the required pressure in the fire sprinkler and fire hydrant piping networks.
3. Pre-action System: This is an essential system in which sprinklers are connected to a piping network that contains pressurized air. It is again connected to electromechanical assembly for achieving double knock activation.
4. Public Address System: This system provides several facilities like playing music, addressing people with wire and wireless microphones, and automatic voice evacuation message in case of emergency.
5. CCTV systems: This system aids in monitoring your organization for any kind of theft and motion.
6. Access Control System: This system restricts entry of unauthorized people into your premises.
These systems can secure any organization from fire, theft and intrusion. It is better to take initial safety precautions rather than repenting later!
