Special Hazard Fire Protection Systems in Michigan

No matter what type of business you operate in Michigan, you need adequate fire protection to keep your building, merchandise, and people safe. This is relatively straightforward if your building contains normal fire hazards and everyday objects—simply design and install a fire sprinkler system and keep fire extinguishers handy.

However, things are different if you operate a business with special hazards. When traditional fire sprinklers won’t do, let Fire Pros help you select an appropriate special hazard suppression system for your needs.

What Is a Special Hazard Fire Suppression System?

The purpose of special hazard fire suppression is to extinguish fires while preserving the integrity of assets in the area. These assets may be unique or irreplaceable, of exceptionally high value, or critical to the function of the building.

Special hazard suppression is also suitable for businesses where unique fires start, including electrical fires, grease fires, or flammable liquid fires that only worsen if you throw water on them.

Clearly, special hazard applications require a fire extinguishing method besides water. Suitable alternatives include:

• FM-200
• Novec 1230
• Halon 1301
• N2 nitrogen
• Carbon dioxide
• Wet foam
• Dry chemicals
• Water mist

These special hazard extinguishing agents minimize damage to facilities and assets, require little to no clean-up, and reduce downtime for your business. They are also fast-acting and highly effective against fires that can ignite in special hazard applications. Most are safe to use with personnel in the room and don’t leave residue behind after discharge.

What Types of Businesses Need Special Hazard Fire Protection?

Special hazard applications can constitute an entire building, an isolated room, or a single piece of equipment. You might need special hazard fire suppression if you need to protect important paper documents, collectibles and archives, computers and electronics, or industrial equipment.

Specific businesses that are considered special hazard applications include:

• Data and IT centers
• Computer server rooms
• Museums and hospitals
• Commercial restaurants
• Aircraft hangars and airports
• Hazardous material storage areas
• Chemical and power plants
• Spray paint and auto body shops
