Where should fire extinguishers be installed in a hotel?

Installing fire extinguishers in hotels is very important to prevent fires and help to suppress incidents in time. The appropriate location for installing fire extinguishers in hotels should be based on safety, accessibility, and fire risk areas, as follows:

1.Install near the main corridor and fire escape

• The hotel's main corridor and fire escape are suitable locations because they are areas where guests and staff frequently travel and can quickly access fire extinguishers in an emergency.
• Fire extinguishers should be installed every 20-30 meters according to safety standards, especially areas connected to fire escapes or emergency exits.

2. Install near the elevator lobby

• The elevator lobby is a frequently used area and is the center of each floor of the hotel. Installing a fire extinguisher near the elevator lobby will allow immediate use of the fire extinguisher in the event of a fire in this area.
• However, avoid installing fire extinguishers in the elevator because this is an area that should not be used in the event of a fire. They should be installed nearby for easy access.

3. The kitchen or food preparation area

• The kitchen in a hotel is the area at highest risk of fire because high-heat cooking equipment is used. CO2 or dry chemical fire extinguishers, which are suitable for extinguishing fires from oil or electrical equipment, should be installed.
• Fire extinguishers should be installed in easily accessible areas, such as near the kitchen entrance and exit.

4. Guest rooms and corridors on each floor

• Fire extinguishers should be installed on each floor of the hotel, especially in corridors connecting guest rooms, so that guests can easily reach them in case of emergency.
• Fire extinguishers should be installed at appropriate distances, such as every 20-30 meters or every 10-15 rooms, depending on the size and layout of the corridors.

• Engine rooms with machinery, electrical panels, or large electrical equipment are areas at risk of fires from electrical short circuits. Installing a CO2 or dry chemical fire extinguisher will help to quickly extinguish the fire.
• Fire extinguishers should be installed in a position that is not too close to the main machinery for safety in use.

6. Public areas and meeting rooms

• Public areas of the hotel, such as meeting rooms, banquet halls, restaurants, or large halls, should have fire extinguishers installed in a clearly visible and easily accessible location, especially in corners of rooms or near exits.
• Fire extinguishers should be installed according to safety standards, such as no more than 20-30 meters away, so that users can use the fire extinguisher immediately.

• The hotel's parking garage is another risky area because it stores fuel or flammable substances. A suitable type of fire extinguisher, such as CO2 or dry chemical, should be installed near the exit of the parking garage.

• Storage rooms or storage areas should have fire extinguishers installed in a clearly visible and easily accessible location, as these areas may contain flammable materials, such as paper or equipment stored in a confined space.

• Fire extinguishers should be installed in a clearly visible and easily accessible location. Fire extinguishers should be approximately 1.2 meters above the ground for easy use.
• There should be clear signs indicating the location of the fire extinguisher so that users can quickly find it in an emergency.

• The installation of fire extinguishers in hotels should comply with safety regulations and relevant standards, such as fire safety standards, and fire extinguishers should be inspected regularly to ensure they are ready for use.
