Basscomm Nigeria Ltd has currently installed all firefighting systems needed to curb any kind of fire, if the need arises. Fire extinguishers are provided for a 'first attack' firefighting measure, generally undertaken by the occupants of the building before the fire service arrives. Fire hose reels are provided for use by occupants as a 'first attack' firefighting measure but may, in some instances, also be used by firefighters. Fire hydrant systems are installed in buildings to help firefighters quickly attack the fire. Essentially, a hydrant system is a water reticulation system used to transport water in order to limit the amount of hose that firefighters have to lay, thus speeding up the firefighting process. Time is essential in the control of fire. Automatic sprinkler systems are one of the most reliable methods available for controlling fires. Today's automatic fire sprinkler systems offer state of the art protection of life and property from the effects of fire.
