How to choose and why you need a fire cabinet?

Fire cabinets are installed by authorized structures in social, commercial and administrative buildings, residential and industrial premises in order to accommodate and ensure the safety of primary fire extinguishing equipment, personal protection, saving people and property. The head of the facility is responsible for the availability of a fire cabinet.
To choose a fire cabinet, you can follow only two simple rules: Correctly determine the purpose of the cabinet, as well as evaluate the features of its subsequent operation; Make a purchase only from a trusted seller, so that he must have a certificate for PS. First, it is required to clearly define for what type of premises the fire cabinet is supposed to be used. If this is an apartment in the city, then it is quite possible to get by with a small PS, which is equipped with a fire extinguisher and various protective equipment (goggles, respirators, etc.). For installation at large enterprises, it is necessary to buy more massive PSH, in which 2 hydrants with fire hoses or a fire extinguisher can fit. If there is a water supply near the fire cabinet, you can install a PSHK. In the case of outdoor installation, it is appropriate to choose a PSHO model, that is, one in which a fire extinguisher is provided. An important parameter when choosing is the location of the PN. It can be mounted on a wall, installed on the floor or placed in a specially prepared niche. In any case, it is important to ensure free access to it, and the PS itself should not become an obstacle to the evacuation of people. For floor and wall models, the depth is allowed no more than 300 mm. For cabinets that are located in niches, you can increase the specified figure. Some PSH are produced to order according to the size of the niche that is available in the room. Fire extinguishers are commonly used in shopping areas, offices, museums and other establishments. For warehouses and factories, PSH with hydrants will be more relevant. The latter must be supplemented with a box of sand, as well as a shield with fire extinguishing equipment. In the production of PSH, the norms and requirements of the law are necessarily observed, which guarantees that fire extinguishing agents will be sufficiently effective. According to the certificate for PS, you can understand that it was issued in accordance with GOST.
