Historical Fire & Life Safety, Then & Now!
It’s amazing how much fire & life safety has progressed over the years. Innovation and advancements in technology has allowed for the increased development of the way we implement our fire & life safety measures today. Here at ProFire, we’ve collected some antiques over the years capturing these moments in fire safety history!
Pull Stations – Then
When it comes to alerting people of an emergency, there shouldn’t be so much to read! The message should be simple and easy for all to understand.
Pull Stations – Now
“FIRE ALARM”
“PULL DOWN”
With a message so simple, there’s no doubt that anyone could mistaken the process!
Exit Signage – Then
Exit signs of the past were made of glass, and changing the light bulbs within them supported the risk of breaking the glass encasement.
Exit Signage – Now
With progressive technology, the power saving LED bulb was implemented. Now, with the advent of photoluminescent signage, building owners are saving on energy costs too!
Fire Extinguishers – Then
Extinguishing a fire in the past meant you had to lug around a large barrel of extinguishing fluid or take aim with your best fast ball, maybe a curve ball to get around some obstacles!
Fire Extinguishers – Now
Putting out a fire now is as easy as “P.A.S.S.”, Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep! There’s no more carrying around a barrel of extinguishing chemical or testing your curve ball skills with the glass balls of extinguishing liquid.
