In Case of Fire Break Glass FS-31 – Emergency Activation Unit for Fire Safety Systems

The In Case of Fire Break Glass FS-31 is a critical emergency activation device designed to provide immediate manual access to fire alarm or fire suppression systems in the event of a fire. Clearly marked with bold red text and universally recognized design standards, this break-glass unit ensures that anyone—trained personnel or bystanders—can trigger an emergency response quickly and effectively when fire is detected.

Housed in a robust, impact-resistant frame with a high-visibility finish, the FS-31 is engineered for durability and ease of use in high-pressure situations. It features a specially designed breakable glass panel or plastic cover that, when shattered or pressed, activates the connected system—typically an alarm circuit, water sprinkler control, CO₂ discharge system, or fire suppression valve. The unit may be linked to a control panel or fire safety network to provide an instant signal to emergency services or internal response teams.

Crafted to comply with global fire safety standards such as NFPA, BS EN, and IS, the FS-31 model is ideal for installation in industrial units, hospitals, offices, shopping centers, warehouses, schools, and public infrastructure. It is often wall-mounted in prominent, easy-to-reach locations along escape routes or near fire extinguishing equipment to maximize accessibility. Some versions of the FS-31 also include a resettable element or come with a protective cover to prevent accidental activation.

What sets the FS-31 apart is its combination of simplicity, speed, and reliability. Its clear labeling – “In Case of Fire Break Glass” – provides unmistakable instructions even under stressful conditions. Once triggered, the device provides an unmistakable alert or system activation that can significantly reduce fire response times and mitigate property damage and life-threatening risks.

Ensure your facility meets the highest safety standards with the FS-31 Break Glass Unit—a small but vital part of any comprehensive fire protection strategy.
