Safety against fire is one of the biggest problems in huge buildings where there are dozens of kitchens and many other equipments operating with electricity and gas. Negligence of a single homeowner can create a huge fire and put the safety of the entire residents in high risk. Hence it is important to keep them all aware of the risks that can be unavoidable if they are not careful, but more importantly, it is necessary to have the fire sprinkler system installed in the buildings. These fire sprinklers can be a great help to kill the fire flames when they are still small and able to be controlled. Another important factor to not forget is to have a liquid level indicator installed with the water tank of the sprinklers to know how much water is present in the tanks and if there would be enough water if a fire gets out of control.

In many cases the buildings were installed with the sprinklers but as they were not used for a long time, the management didn’t pay much attention to it maintenance and no one ever checked the water level in the tank installed for it. Being on the roof and in full sunlight the water evaporated and the tank became dry as a bone. As there was no liquid level indicator installed with the tank, no one knew that the tank was dry and there is no way to look inside a huge water tank at such a height. Then came the dreaded moment and a fire got out of control and huge flames soon began to be seen escaping the building’s windows. The fire became too huge and too out of control that the entire building had to be evacuated and the loss was far greater than expected.

Had the management been active and kept a close watch on the water level in the tanks and also kept a record of the water level in the tanks, the sprinklers would have sprayed more than just a few drops of water on the fire. These incidents have made it compulsory for the management of the buildings to be more active and also keep an ultrasonic level indicator with them. Using the device they can measure the liquid level in every tank connected with the building and learn about when the water has evaporated and the tanks need refilling again.
