There are a few simple tools that every facility should have to help prevent and manage fires, according to an article on the Advance Senior Care website.
They include fire alarms, sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers and kitchen systems.
These measures are relatively easy to install, but must be kept in working order. These tools require regular testing and maintenance to function properly.
When it comes to fire extinguishers, for instance, you need to exercise some caution. They should be installed in places that are predominantly accessible by the staff, rather than in resident rooms.
