Fire Dampers

A fire damper is an essential component of a building’s fire safety system. It is a device that is installed in the ducts of a building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Fire dampers are designed to close automatically when a fire is detected, preventing the spread of smoke and flames through the ducts. Fire dampers are typically made of metal and are designed to remain closed until the fire is extinguished. Fire dampers are usually installed in walls, ceilings, and floors and are usually located near the HVAC unit. Fire dampers are an important part of a building’s fire safety system, as they can help to contain a fire and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the building. Fire dampers are also important for preventing smoke from entering the building, as they can help to reduce the amount of smoke that enters the building. Fire dampers are an essential part of any building’s fire safety system and should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that they are working properly.
