Extinguishing the Flames
Having automatic fire extinguishers in a building can really save the day. They extinguish fires quickly and efficiently, allowing anyone in the vicinity to simply run away and trust that the fire will be taken care of. Manual extinguishers force people to risk their lives to put out fires, which cause incidents due to the human factor. Many people do not know how to actually use manual fire extinguishers. This causes them to put themselves in danger, only to be fiddling around with equipment that they don’t know how to use. Additionally, manual fire extinguishers expire, and much like smoke detectors, they are not often checked to see if they work properly.
