Fire Suppression for Specialized Hazards

Critical equipment, high-value assets, and specialized operations can require fire protection beyond conventional suppression systems. Special hazard systems address applications where water-based suppression may not be appropriate for the hazard or the assets being protected.

Special hazard applications can involve an entire facility, an individual room, or specific equipment. These systems may be used to protect sensitive electronics, important documents and archives, valuable collections, hazardous materials, or critical industrial equipment.

The right approach depends on the hazards involved, equipment and assets being protected, facility conditions, and applicable requirements.

Veriguard Fire & Security supports special hazard fire suppression from system design and installation through inspection, maintenance, and repair, helping facility teams coordinate the system through one service relationship.

Clean Agent & FM-200 Fire Suppression Systems

Facilities with sensitive electronics and high-value equipment may need fire protection that can suppress a fire without introducing water or residue that could cause additional damage.

FM-200 is a waterless fire suppression system commonly used in data centers, telecommunications spaces, computer server rooms, and other environments containing sensitive electronic equipment. It suppresses fire without leaving behind water, oily residue, or particulate.

Veriguard Fire & Security provides inspection, maintenance, repair, and other ongoing support for supported clean-agent and FM-200 systems throughout their service life.

Halon Fire Suppression Systems

Although new Halon production was phased out because of its ozone-depleting properties, previously installed Halon fire suppression systems may remain in service.

Veriguard Fire & Security provides ongoing service for existing supported Halon systems. When replacement is appropriate, our specialists can help evaluate alternative suppression solutions based on the facility, equipment, and hazards involved.

Dry-Chemical Fire Suppression Systems

Dry-chemical suppression systems can be used for specialized hazards and applications requiring a suppression approach suited to the materials or equipment being protected.

Veriguard Fire & Security provides design, installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair for supported dry-chemical fire suppression systems.

Our teams can help evaluate the application and ongoing service requirements based on the facility, hazards, and existing system.

Wet-Chemical Fire Suppression Systems

Veriguard Fire & Security supports wet-chemical systems through inspection, maintenance, repair, design, and installation based on the application and system requirements.

The appropriate suppression approach depends on the specific hazards, protected assets, facility conditions, and applicable requirements.

Special Hazard Applications

Special hazard fire suppression can be appropriate when an organization needs to protect sensitive, valuable, irreplaceable, or operationally critical assets, or when the hazards involved require a specialized suppression approach.

Applications can range from an individual room or piece of equipment to larger areas within a facility.
Common special hazard applications include:

  • Data and IT centers
  • Computer server rooms
  • Museums and hospitals
  • Hazardous material storage areas
  • Chemical and power plants

Special hazard systems may also be appropriate for environments containing important documents and archives, sensitive electronics, valuable collections, or critical industrial equipment.

Manage Special Hazard Systems Throughout Their Life Cycle

Special hazard systems require attention beyond initial design and installation.

Recurring inspections, maintenance requirements, system conditions, corrective repairs, and changes to protected equipment can all affect ongoing service needs.

Veriguard Fire & Security helps facility teams coordinate these needs through one service relationship. Inspection findings can move into corrective service, while ongoing maintenance helps teams maintain visibility into system conditions and outstanding needs.
