THE EXTREMES: Hot Strategies for Cold Conditions

Environments with high airflow or excessive temperatures, such as freezer or cold-storage warehouses, require robust and flexible fire protection solutions. These extreme environments present unique fire detection and suppression challenges that do not follow standard fire and life safety design. For example, while extremely cold, these warehouses can have such dry atmospheres that fire can spread faster than normal. As a result, each scenario needs to be evaluated to provide the necessary protection. Because there is no one-size-fits-all fire and life safety solution, familiarity with all technologies associated with fire detection, notification and suppression are important for designing a dependable and suitable system.

Research Aims to Increase Photoelectric Detectors’ Sensitivity to Flaming Fires

Data has shown that while flaming fires are not as common as smoldering fires in residential occupancies, they still comprise a large percentage of fire events. Flaming fires also tend to produce untenable conditions more quickly than smoldering fires, and ionization detectors typically perform better than other detection technologies in flaming fire situations.

Providing Solutions vs. Meeting Code

Often people say they want the best, but their spending demonstrates that “adequate” is good enough. We talk to system designers who recommend solutions for their customers that would provide better fire and life safety protection than what code requires. But they ultimately end up providing the bare minimum protection required at the customer’s request. [...]
