Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine if I need a special hazard fire suppression system?
Most often, Special Hazard Suppression Systems find common applications with the presence of high-value assets or hazardous materials. Due to their specific design and purpose, this system effectively mitigates the fire risks associated with these environments. Additionally, our team can conduct a site survey to understand your specific needs and ensure that the right system is provided for your application.
Can I put a fire suppression system on a vehicle?
Certainly, various vehicle types, such as public buses, trains, heavy construction, mining, marine, and racing vehicles, may require suppression systems, and there are multiple options available for each of them.
Does my server room need a fire suppression system?
The value of the data stored on your servers, and the impact on your business on the loss of data in that server room due to a fire, would be a factor whether you need a system or not. Considering the specific risks involved with server rooms, you shouldn’t rely solely on water sprinklers for protection.
If I’m in the room when a clean agent fire suppression system goes off, can I be hurt?
When it comes to clean agent systems, know that they are generally safe to use in the presence of humans. The release of the agent itself does not pose any harm or danger to individuals. However we recommend when alarms sound, to evacuate the area as safely and quickly as possible.
How often does my suppression system need to be inspected?
The frequency may vary depending on various factors, however, as a general rule, we recommend a semi-annual inspection.
