Selecting a Fire Suppression System

When you're running a business, you need to place a high priority on protecting your employees. This requires the selection of a fire suppression system that will get the job done should it be needed. There are a few different types of fire suppression systems to choose from, so we thought we'd take a few minutes and describe what each kind is like so you can make an informed decision when it comes time to select your system.

Wet pipe. These systems keep water in the pipes and at the ready should a fire break out. Water is instantly sprayed onto the fire at the first sign of trouble.

Dry and preaction. These types of systems store water outside of the pipes. If suppression is needed, the water is pushed through to the pipes out of a pressurized tank.

Water mist. Sprays a water mist out to suppress fires. Very water efficient and a lot safer to use around electronic devices. This type of system will cause less damage when doing its job.

Gas flooding. This fire suppression system uses a type of high-pressure gas to contain fires.
