Dry Fire Suppression Systems

One of the most common types of fire suppression systems is the water sprinkler system. Water can be an effective way to slow or stop many types of fires, but it often comes at the cost of the property in a building. When water is used as a suppressant, any paper documents, electronic systems, and other items that are nearby can be damaged or ruined completely. This is where the usefulness of a dry system can come into play. Dry fire suppression systems, such as ABC or BC type powders, can choke off a fire without doing much damage to the property nearby. When you can suppress a fire without doing damage to expensive equipment or important documents, you can save a great deal of money in replacement costs. Not only that, but when a fire is able to be completely suppressed instead of slowed, you can give those who might be in the building more time to get out safely.

Fire Suppression Systems, Then and Now

Back before the 1990s, a fire suppression system was merely expected to keep a fire in check long enough for the fire department could get there to extinguish it. As technology has improved over time, we're now in an age where these systems are not just expected to control a fire so other help can arrive; instead, fire suppression systems can now be tasked with the responsibility of putting the fire out, with fire crews coming just in the case the blaze gets out of control. Now that these systems can potentially suppress a fire on their own, we could enter an era where the loss of life and property could diminish significantly. In the past, a large portion of the damage was due to the delay in a fire being reported and crews coming to take care of it. With today's suppression systems, a fire can be detected soon after it starts, and can be extinguished before it has the chance to grow and spread.
