Tailored solutions for your facility's unique needs
The terms fire protection system and life safety system are often used interchangeably, and although they are related, they are not the same thing. When used together, these systems create a comprehensive safety net, protecting lives and property. Fire protection refers to the measures and systems designed to prevent, detect, control, and suppress fires to protect people, property, and the environment. It includes active methods like fire alarms, sprinklers, and fire extinguishers, as well as passive methods such as fire-resistant building materials, fire doors, and compartmentalization. Fire protection is essential for safety in buildings, industries, and public spaces, and it often involves compliance with fire codes and regulations. Life safety systems are a set of integrated systems and equipment designed to protect human life by preventing, detecting, and responding to emergencies such as fires, smoke, power failures, and other hazards. These systems ensure safe evacuation and reduce risks in buildings and facilities. At Shiramafiretex, we believe that there is only one definition of adequate fire protection in practice: an effective integrated solution comprising automatic sprinkler fire suppression systems supported by fire detection/alarm systems, voice evacuation systems, access control and intrusion detection systems, CCTV/video surveillance, and first aid firefighting equipment such as hydrant/hose reels and fire extinguishers. Our expert team provides innovative engineering solutions to design highly effective and customized fire protection systems that meet the unique needs of each facility.

These components ensure safe evacuation and reduce risks in emergencies.
Our systems are interdependent with each other and with non-life safety systems by integrating fire prevention strategies with fire protection systems and life safety measures to provide a holistic approach.
We follow a systematic approach to ensure quality service delivery and client satisfaction.
Step 1: Identifying Building Classification and Codes - Determining the building’s occupancy type (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.), identifying applicable building codes and fire regulations (e.g., NFPA, local fire codes), considering any special hazards (e.g., flammable materials, high-rise challenges).
Step 2: Performing a Fire Risk Assessment - Identifying potential fire hazards (electrical, chemical, structural), assessing fire load (amount and type of combustible materials present), analyzing occupant risk factors (number of people, evacuation challenges).
Step 3: Determining Fire Protection Objectives and Strategies - Preventing fire ignition, controlling fire growth, suppressing fire spread, protecting occupants and assets, facilitating rescue and evacuation.
Step 4: Design Active Fire Protection Systems - Fire detection and alarm systems (smoke detectors, heat sensors, manual pull stations), fire suppression systems (sprinkler systems, gaseous suppression, fire extinguishers), standpipe and hydrant systems (required for large buildings and high-rises), smoke control systems for large spaces (e.g., atriums, tunnels), HVAC integration with fire safety measures.
Step 5: Project Implementation/Execution - Supply, installation, testing, commissioning.
Step 6: Prepare a Fire Safety Programme - Formation and training of fire safety team, preventive maintenance manuals.
