A fire can cause severe damage to business structures, equipment, and even inventory. A business owner should focus on fire risk assessment, fire prevention, and staff education to help reduce the chance of fire and smoke damage.
Here are three tips to consider:

1. Have fire protection equipment:  You might want to look into an automatic sprinkler system, this will provide primary fire protection for your business. Let employees be aware of the location of fire extinguishers throughout the building.

2. Fire safety in the workplace: Your employees are part of your team but they’re also essential assets to your business. Ensure that your employees know what to do if there's a fire. You will want to conduct a fire drill several times a year to keep employees aware of safety protocol.

3. Evacuation plan: Every business should post a fire evacuation plan in several spots around the workplace. In case of fire injuries, your staff should be familiar with the location of the first-aid kit.
