Workplace fire equipment includes a variety of instruments and technologies used to prevent, detect, and extinguish fires. Fire extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke detectors, fire hoses, sprinkler systems, and emergency lighting are all part of this equipment. Fire extinguishers are portable devices used to extinguish small fires and keep them from spreading. Fire alarms and smoke detectors detect the presence of smoke or fire and notify occupants in the building to leave. To extinguish larger fires and keep them from spreading, fire hoses and sprinkler systems are used. In the event of a power outage or other emergency, emergency lighting is utilized to give illumination. Employers must conduct fire drills in addition to providing fire apparatus.
