It’s Fire Prevention Week!  Fire departments across the country are visiting schools and holding open houses to teach fire safety and stressing the importance of having and practicing an escape plan. 

In addition to safety and escape plans, this week brings the importance of fire protection equipment to the minds of many.  Checking the batteries in fire alarms, making sure that fire extinguishers are full, and making sure that sprinkler systems work are things that are done around this time to make sure that individuals as well as businesses are prepared in case they ever experience a fire. 

All these things help to protect people as well as buildings, but what about important documents?  Tax records, contracts, account records, legal documents, and many other types of documents are valuable assets that often go overlooked when emphasizing fire safety.  The solution—fire resistant file cabinets.

Schwab Corp. and FireKing are two leading manufacturers for vital record security and fire protection.  Both companies provide file cabinets which are Underwriters’ Laboratories listed with a class rating of 350 for paper protection.  To obtain a UL Class-350 fire rating, the file is placed in a furnace chamber and heated to temperatures exceeding 1700ºF for a specified amount of time.  These files have also been given an explosion rating which means that passed a 2000ºF explosion hazard resistance test.

While both companies have met the UL requirements for record protection, they are both unique in their offerings.  Many sizes, features, and colors are available to meet your décor and fire protection needs.  For individual product information and ordering options, visit BuyOnlineNow.com .
