Fire Protection in Micro-Environments

We utilize new technology in fire detection and suppression equipment which has revolutionized the protection of the micro-environment. Systems from Firetrace International use linear, pneumatic heat detection from a flexible, pressurized tube that is routed throughout a piece of vital equipment. This tubing is temperature sensitive and ruptures when exposed to fire. The rupture forms a “nozzle” that allows the fire suppression agent to flow directly from its storage cylinder to the fire’s source, stopping the fire before it grows. These systems are mounted “on-board” the equipment, require no electricity, and provide fire protection that is intended to “save” the asset from excessive damage as well as prevent the spread of fire.

These solutions seek to address fire protection for critical equipment that falls into the “micro-environment” category (250 cubic feet or less) that has long been viewed as impractical and cost-prohibitive.
