Smoke vents are openings designed to allow smoke and heat to escape from a building during a fire. They help improve visibility and reduce the risk of smoke inhalation for occupants, making it easier for them to evacuate safely. Smoke vents can be found in various structures, including commercial buildings and residential complexes. These vents can be operated manually or automatically, often using sensors to detect smoke. When activated, they open to release smoke, which helps to lower temperatures and create a safer environment for firefighters, allowing them to access the area more effectively. Proper installation and maintenance of smoke vents are crucial for their effectiveness.
