Education bears an enormous responsibility for a vast number of young people every day, guiding their way into adult life. Ensuring their safety is a fundamental requirement for any type of school or university. From kindergartens to large university campuses, our comprehensive fire protection offering addresses all requirements independently of size and complexity.
University and school structures are heterogeneous by nature. In addition to the age diversity of the pupils/students, we also find a large variety of learning environments, which can extend from basic classrooms to different buildings or even city districts. Educational facilities are also commonly home to a substantial quantity of high-value assets such as irreplaceable documents, IT infrastructure and scientific equipment. In such environments the single largest threat is fire. According to official statistics, the number of fire-related injuries and fatalities by fires in universities and schools is thankfully very low. However, this should in no way lead to complacency as there are still too many fires causing extensive damage. For example, in 2014 a £ 20 million laboratory building at the University of Nottingham, England, was completely destroyed during the construction phase. Although no figures are available for the financial consequences of the estimated 2-year delay in opening the laboratory, these are certainly not inconsiderable. Minimizing the number of fire-related incidents and the consequential damage costs is a top priority. Our advanced offering provides optimal fire protection for both persons and infrastructure.
Besides protecting the lives of visitors and staff, fire safety in historical buildings and museums is a matter of preserving invaluable architecture and artifacts. Historical buildings are of importance not only to professional historians, but also to people from all walks of life. The protection of our cultural heritage is a responsibility that we take very seriously – you can rely on our advanced fire safety offering.
In general, damage caused by fire or extinguishing agents can be repaired, although at a cost. In the case of historical buildings and museums, however, this is not always the case. One of numerous tragic examples is Weimar’s Duchess Anna Amalia Library, which was destroyed by fire in 2004 with an estimated damage of $90,000,000. In such cases, the true extent of the loss is far greater than just the cost of restoring the fabric of the building. Every artifact that is lost represents an irreplaceable, and therefore priceless, piece of cultural heritage. Our advanced offering provides the appropriate protection.
Whether you are responsible for a small guest-house or a large multi-story hotel complex, a key success factor is that your guests enjoy their stay – this includes not only first-rate service but also first-rate safety. Guests expect that they will be warned in good time if there is a real danger such as fire and that they will be conducted quickly and safely out of harm’s way. On the other hand, they certainly do not want to have their stay disrupted by any annoying false alarms. You can rely on our advanced fire safety offering to protect your guests, business continuity and reputatio
In the hotel industry, false alarms are a major issue. It is critical to avoid such incidents, as they cause unnecessary disturbance to the hotel guests and are costly for the business and its reputation. Our smart detectors with ASAtechnology are immune to deceptive phenomena such as steam, tobacco smoke or exhaust emissions and make false alarms a thing of the past. Siemens and its network of certified solution partners offer a Genuine Alarm Guarantee in various countries.
Data centers are the world’s digital backbone, and countless users rely on the information stored in them. Our fast-paced society expects this information to be accessible anywhere and at any time, and even the shortest of downtimes can have considerable financial consequences. Minimizing the risk of fire damage is therefore a top priority: Reliably detecting incipient fires as early as possible and the quick activation of appropriate response measures are key pre-requisites in ensuring maximum system availability. Our state-of-the-art fire safety portfolio can help you keep your data center up and running.
There are few areas where business interruptions are as costly as in data storage. On average, the financial loss caused by server downtime is $7,300 per minute, and fires at data centers can easily threaten the survival of entire businesses. Statistics show that 6% of infrastructure failures in data centers are related to fire, and of those companies hit by a major fire event, over 70% are forced to discontinue their business within a period of three years. For maximum protection, a comprehensive fire safety system is needed to ensure business continuity, personal safety and damage mitigation in the case of fire. Our advanced offering provides optimal fire protection and contributes to data centers’ around-the-clock availability.
The high power dissipation in modern server cabinets requires considerable cooling and consequently high airflow rates. Our Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) systems are admirably suited to detecting incipient fires in such demanding application areas, where very early fire detection is required and business continuity is paramount. Aspirating smoke detectors continually draw samples of air from the areas requiring protection and evaluate these samples for the presence of smoke particles.
Reacting to an incipient fire quickly and efficiently is essential; however, it is equally important to minimize any damage to the costly and sensitive electronic equipment. Therefore, using extinguishing agents and technologies that will cause no damage to the data systems themselves is of utmost importance. Having the right extinguishing solution can help protect people, data and valuable investments in a cost-effective manner. In such environments we recommend the use of automated gas extinguishing systems (with inert gases or clean agents) and technologies that fulfill the diverse demands of data centers. Our comprehensive extinguishing offering includes the right protection for all areas.
A comprehensive fire protection system requires perfect coordination between fire detection, alarming and activation of the extinguishing system. Our holistic approach is a major factor in ensuring first-class fire protection for your installation.

Our energy infrastructure is undergoing a radical transformation. An influx of excess energy from renewable sources like wind and solar is causing fluctuations in energy supply and putting grid stability at risk. Energy storage is a key component to balance out supply and demand and absorb the fluctuations. Today, lithium-ion battery storage systems are the most common and effective type and, as a result, installations are growing fast.
Lithium-ion storage facilities contain high-energy batteries combined with highly flammable electrolytes. In addition, they are prone to quick ignition and explosion in a worst-case scenario. Such fires can have a significant financial impact on organizations. Rapid detection of electrolyte gas particles and extinguishing are the key to a successful fire protection concept. Since December 2019, Siemens has been offering a VdS-certified fire protection concept for stationary Li-ion battery storage systems.
Would you like to know how you can use these emerging technologies safely while minimizing the risk of fire?
Earliest possible detection with the FDA241 aspirating smoke detector
The FDA241 detects electrolyte vapor early and reliably thanks to its patented dual-wavelength optical detection technology. In accordance with normative requirements, two independent FDA241s are required to trigger the activation of the automated extinguishing system. The FDA241 is the ideal solution for early detection of electrical fires. In addition to controlling the automated extinguishing system, the fire protection system triggers all other necessary control functions.
Sinorix N2 extinguishing systems prevent electrical fires, stop the propagation of thermal runaways and reliably prevent the spread of secondary fires. A holding time of 30 minutes not only gives the fire brigade time to react, but also prevents any delayed runaway.
*Our tests have shown that the lower the remaining oxygen concentration, the better the protection against the explosive combustion of electrolyte vapor.
