4.4.3. Summary

Although complying with the local standards, codes of practice and insurance guidelines is a legal obligation for

hotel owners, they are also well aware that it is in their own interest to ensure that both the hotel and the

occupants are well-protected. Extinguishing systems not only protect people and property extremely effectively,

they also contribute to the smooth running of the hotel operations.

A well-planned extinguishing concept that is appropriate to the size, situation and substance of the hotel is

essential. For example in small hotels just the installation of an adequate number of fire extinguishers may be

sufficient. In all cases, however, regular service and maintenance are indispensable to ensure that the

extinguishing systems and fire extinguishers are in perfect working order whenever they need to be used in an

emergency situation.
