Fire protection is a top priority in event locations. In addition to staff, performance venues host large numbers of visitors who are unfamiliar with the premises, ranging from children and young people to senior citizens and people from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
In the event of a fire or evacuation, the different behaviour of people combined with their lack of local knowledge can be fatal. Tripping hazards due to improperly laid cables, unclear escape routes (e.g., in the stage/decoration area) and darkened environments also pose risks when it comes to saving the lives of many people quickly in the event of an emergency.
In addition, theaters, opera houses and concert halls are often located in historic buildings with valuable furnishings that need to be protected from the fatal consequences of a fire. At WAGNER, we offer you specific fire protection solutions for these environments.
RISK ANALYSIS
The greatest fire risks in event locations include numerous of electrical systems, often combined with ageing technical infrastructure, electrical installations behind wall panelling, and potential ignition sources associated with stage technology. However, the use of fire as part of the performance and numerous highly flammable materials (fabrics / textiles, building materials and materials, stage props) are also possible sources of fire.
PROTECTION GOALS
BETTER SOLUTIONS IN FIRE PROTECTION
If a fire breaks out in a meeting or event location, seconds count. Seconds in which a large number of people – usually without any knowledge of the facility – must be evacuated. The earlier a fire is detected, the faster life-saving measures can be initiated.
Our highly sensitive TITANUS® aspirating smoke detectors are ideal for early fire detection. They are highly reliable and are immune to false alarms. Our fire detection system detects even the smallest smoke particles at a very early stage of fire development (pyrolysis) and is up to 2000 times more sensitive than conventional smoke detectors. These detectors provide the valuable time needed to ensure a safe and orderly evacuation
TITANUS® aspirating smoke detectors can also be aesthetically integrated into the architecture. As a result, the low-noise aspirating smoke detectors do not impair the appearance or acoustics of theatres, concert halls or opera houses.
BENEFITS
Valuable time advantage thanks to reliable and early fire detection
Very high immunity to false alarms thanks to fire pattern recognition
Harmonious integration of the system into the architecture without compromising on aesthetics
Particularly suitable for noise-sensitive areas such as Theatres and concert halls
Prevention of consequential and reputational damage
Tested and certified systems comply with statutory regulations and insurance requirements.
