High Rise Fire Safety SystemsWhen building heights rise above 75 feet, NFPA standard #101 require special high rise fire safety systems to protect modern modern structures from the special risks brought about by the increased elevation. These facilities require high rise fire alarm systems with special capabilities such as emergency voice paging, fire fighters telephone and other special fire protection systems. If you manage, maintain, or occupy such buildings, you should consider Reliable Fire Equipment as the nation's premier specialist in the installation, testing and maintenance of high rise fire safety systems.

The AM-2020 fire alarm system is intended primarily for high rise buildings. An addressable, analog system, the AM2020 is capable of addressing 1,980 detectors, addressable interfaces, or control modules. Equipped with built in standard fire alarm system networking, the AM-2020 is able to address even more devices when networked with AFP-200 and AFP-400 control panels. The control panel supervises elevator recall, activates smoke control systems, emergency generators, and building fire pumps. It is the ideal high rise fire safety system for large buildings.
High Rise Emergency Voice Paging
With the high rise building comes the need for emergency paging systems. We have systems for single, dual, or triple channel voice; automatic message playback with multiple messages capable of simultaneous transmission to different zones of the building while manual paging is in progress in still other zones of the building. Complete zone selection and automatic override capabilities are provided with the Notifier annunciator control panel. Speaker strobes installed throughout the facility provide emergency tones, pre-recorded messages, or live messages from the AM-2020 control panel.
Fire Alarm Fire Fighters Telephone Systems
In a high rise fire safety system a fire fighter's telephone system is a necessity. Emergency telephone stations are positioned at every floor throughout the building to enable fire department personnel to communicate freely in their fire fighting efforts. The emergency phone system provides two-way communications throughout the entire facility.
Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers provide the first line of defense against fire. Long before temperatures become sufficiently high to activate the fire sprinkler system, fire extinguishers can provide rapid fire suppression before combustion reaches life threatening levels. Reliable Fire Equipment provides extinguishers, fire extinguisher maintenance services, and the OSHA required fire extinguisher training for employees working in high rise buildings. Your high fire safety system plan should not overlook them.
High Rise Fire Sprinkler SystemsFire sprinkler systems provide the primary building structural fire protection. In the event of a fire in the building, heat from combustion melts the fusible element in the fire sprinkler head releasing water onto the surface of the fire. Reliable Fire Equipment can integrate maintenance of your fire sprinkler system with other components of your total high rise fire safety system.
Emergency LightsEmergency lights enables building occupants to safely escape the building in the event of a power failure. Equipped with back up batteries capable of powering exit and emergency lights for more than an hour, emergency lights become a critical element of a high rise safety system in the event of a power failure. Reliable Fire Equipment provides emergency lights, emergency lighting maintenance, and testing. In many high rise buildings emergency lights are connected to the building fire alarm system.
Fire Hose and StandpipesHigh rise buildings usually have fire hose and reel stations positioned throughout the facility. Fire hose must be tested at periodic intervals to meet current fire codes. Reliable can provide fire hose testing to meet the requirements of NFPA standard #1962.
Security, CCTV, and UniNet NetworkingThe Notifier AM-2020 control panel is fully listed by Underwriter's Laboratories for security applications. Using Notifier's UniNet networking protocol, building closed circuit television cameras and intrusion alarms can be integrated into a seamless building wide protection systems. In the event of an alarm in a smoke detector on a specific floor, security cameras can be manually or automatically rotated to provide visual confirmation of activities in the
