Building codes and other requirements often dictate that chemical storage buildings must have some sort of fire suppression system. To meet these requirements, we offer water sprinkler systems and dry chemical systems as standard options which can be installed by our personnel or a specialist at the location. These systems have audible and visual alarms and can be fitted with a variety of fire suppression accessories.
The ability to quickly control chemical fires increases safety and peace of mind when storing hazardous materials. Another point of emphasis when extinguishing fires is minimizing inventory loss. Our effective and compliant fire suppression systems and accessories help save lives and costly materials in the event of an emergency.
