| October is National Fire Prevention Month, and no company understands the importance of fire safety better than DuPont. This month commemorates the devastation of the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. The fire, according to popular legend, was started by Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicking over a lamp in the barn. The fire lead to the destruction of more than 17,000 structures. Although most building owners and property managers don’t have to worry about Mrs. O’Leary’s cow starting a fire that will affect their properties, they do need to be aware of ways to reduce the fire hazard risk to their buildings. One of those ways is to address the issue of the accumulation of abandoned cable found in most commercial buildings today.
What is Abandoned Cable and Are You at Risk?
There is approximately 60 billion feet of voice and data communications cable installed in commercial buildings in the US today. Most is made with highly combustible materials that can pose a significant fire risk. A large percentage is no longer in use, or has been abandoned. If you own or manage a commercial building, chances are high that abandoned cable issues affect you. That's why DuPont™ Abandoned Cable Services offers simple and affordable solutions to help you understand and manage abandoned cable challenges.
