Hard Fire Suppression Systems of Ohio

Here's an interesting bit of news from the fire protection industry. A Minnesota-based company called TetraKO has developed a corn starch-based fire suppressant . This suppressant was recently tested by the Technology Council of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and, in a white paper the association published, tests showed that the corn start suppressant had distinct advantages over water and foam-based suppressants. The TetraKO product is the first product to fall under the EPA's Design for the Environment banner, as it is an effective and safe alternative to previous fire suppressant technologies.

The April edition of the NFPA's Fire Sprinkler Initiative Newsletter came out yesterday, and features a few interesting reads. Fire Chief Brian Black of the Anderson County SC Fire Department talks about the fire that destroyed his home and nearly took his family, and points to that event as the reason he installed sprinklers when building his new home. There's also a round-up article from Chicago's Home Fire Sprinkler Summit, where the NFPA committed itself to its mission to have sprinkler systems installed in all homes. You can read the newsletter on the Fire Sprinkler Initiative website. If you have any questions about fire sprinklers, or if you're looking into having a system installed, please feel free to get in touch with Hard Fire at (800) 848-1301.
