Why Smoke Control is Important

  • Smoke spreads quickly in a fire and is one of the most hazardous situations
  • Gives the building’s occupants a clear evacuation route
  • Prevents further damage to the building
  • Prevents smoke from affecting residents remote from a fire

Types of Smoke Control Systems

Smoke control systems (or smoke management systems) are mechanical systems that control the movement of smoke during a fire. Most are intended to protect occupants while they are evacuating or being sheltered in place.
