What equipment should every facility review during Fire Prevention Month?

Prioritize smoke/CO detection, maintained extinguishers, clear egress signage and emergency lighting, kitchen suppression where applicable, and up-to-date alarm panel monitoring and inspections.

How often should extinguishers and alarms be inspected?

Follow local code and NFPA guidelines—typically monthly visual checks and annual maintenance for portable extinguishers, with scheduled testing for alarm systems and notification devices.

What steps reduce false alarms without compromising safety?

Use appropriate detector types for the environment (e.g., multi-criteria or heat in kitchens), ensure proper placement and maintenance, and verify programming and sensitivity settings through commissioning.

Do you offer training and evacuation drills?

Yes—Safeware can support extinguisher training, evacuation planning, and tabletop or live drills to improve readiness and meet policy requirements.

Can solutions integrate with mass notification and monitoring?

Yes—systems can interface with central stations and mass notification to coordinate voice evacuation, strobes, and messaging across buildings and campuses.

Coldcut Cobra Lance

Ultra-High Pressure Cutting Extinguisher

The Cold Cut Cobra system is an advanced firefighting tool designed to improve both safety and efficiency. Using an ultra-high-pressure water jet, capable of reaching up to 300 bar (4351 psi), the system can pierce through virtually any building material. By mixing abrasive into the water stream, the Cobra effectively cuts through surfaces without introducing additional oxygen to the fire, helping to contain it.

The Z-Wave Plus Smart Smoke Alarm offers 2-in-1 detection for smoke and CO with Z-Wave Plus integration. It provides real-time alerts, a 10-year sealed battery, and easy setup—bringing smarter, dependable home protection anytime, anywhere.

Lithium Fire Blanket

Fire Suppression Blanket

Immediately isolates toxic gases and smoke and protects civilians from carcinogen exposure. A lithium fire blanket is the simplest, safest, and most effective way to isolate lithium battery fires- such as in e-scooters, e-bikes, and open battery fires. Lithium battery fires don’t respond to traditional fire extinguishers, which makes even small lithium battery fires extremely dangerous. The Bridgehill Lithium Fire Blanket isolates a burning lithium battery safely for hours.

Bioex Firefighting Foam

High Performance Flourine-Free Firefighting Foam

Fluorine-Free Foams create a resistant foam blanket above the fuel on fire and add a cooling effect to rapidly extinguish the fire. F3 are applied with the same application rates and the same gentle and forceful application methods as AFFF foams. BIOEX environmentally friendly foams can be applied in low, medium and high expansion. They offer excellent extinguishment performances and burnback resistance.
