SHEVS IFT Consultants Pte Ltd - How An Engineered Smoke Control System Saved My Family

1. SHEVS IFT Consultants Pte Ltd How An Engineered Smoke Control System Saved My Family

2. How An Engineered Smoke Control System Saved My Family The incident occurred on the day my little brother wanted our parents to buy him a toy from the mall. Since everything was completely fine before it happened, nobody expected the day to take such a sharp turn. Who would have thought an engineered smoke control system would save my family’s life? It all started when my little brother woke up and tormented my parents by repeatedly begging them to buy him a new toy. ‘It’s not going to work,’ I playfully teased him. Watching him try was adorable, and I did want to go to the mall myself. So if he ever managed to convince my parents, it would be a win-win for both of us.

3. The Trip To The Mall After a few more tries, he finally got my parents to agree on one condition: they told him not to stay in the mall too long. My dad still had a meeting to get back to, so sticking around might be detrimental to his position. In the car, I decided to ask my dad a little more about his work. He told me that he worked in a company that specialised in preventing fires. In other words, my dad helped buildings avoid the need to call firefighters. One of the materials that dad’s company had was mass engineered timber from Singapore, and it’s best known for the fact that it’s highly fire-resistant. ‘Isn’t wood meant to make campfires?’ I asked, all the more curious. My dad said it was, but this kind of wood was special and different from regular campfire fuel. We arrived at the mall a few minutes later, and my little brother was excited to get to the toy store. He didn’t even bother waiting for my parents and me before he started running off without us. I took the opportunity to talk to my dad more about his job. While my little brother picked out the toy he was looking for, my dad explained how a wind driven rain simulation worked. Everything—like I said—was perfectly normal before the incident. It was only when we heard the sound of someone screaming that everything wasn’t as normal as I thought it was.

4. The Electrical Fire The panic that spread throughout the mall was faster than the spreading of the fire. My family had to run with the crowd of similar families who wanted a regular shopping day. My mom was worried primarily about the smoke, especially since my little brother had asthma. If my brother had an asthma attack during this situation, it would have thrown us all into a fear-filled frenzy. My dad, however, was more determined to leave the mall. To ease our worries, he told us that this was a mall that had an engineered smoke control system which my dad’s company specifically installed. He didn’t have time to explain how it worked, but he just said that the smoke was already taken care of. As soon as we made it outside, we checked to see if my little brother was okay. After seeing he showed no signs of having an asthma attack, we realised that the engineered smoke control system saved not only our family but everyone else in the building as well.
