Not all fire suppression systems are created equal—some businesses need specialized solutions to protect delicate equipment, hazardous materials, or valuable assets. Traditional water sprinklers and extinguishers can cause damage or dangerous reactions in certain environments, making special hazard systems a crucial investment.
These advanced systems use clean agents to suppress fires safely and effectively. With expert installation, maintenance, and 24/7 monitoring, Thompson Safety ensures your business stays protected and compliant. Read on to learn how special hazard systems can safeguard your property from unexpected fire risks.
Fire extinguishing systems and sprinklers are a great first line of defense for many businesses, but some facilities have delicate systems, vehicles, or property that can be damaged using these methods.
For these types of commercial or industrial buildings, special hazard systems should be installed by a fire safety professional. Special hazards systems are both fire control and fire prevention systems that use special fire retardants, like FM-200, Halon, carbon dioxide or foam, which will not interact dangerously with the environment.
For example, many industrial buildings contain certain chemicals that can cause a dangerous interaction with standard extinguishers. Other structures have valuable contents that can be damaged by water sprinklers. Businesses that require a special hazard fire suppression system can include:
