Fire Protection System Types 

• Sprinkler Systems: The First Line of Defense

Sprinkler systems are a staple in fire safety for commercial buildings, highly effective due to their simplicity and operational mechanics. These systems can save your building during a fire by automatically showering water on the flames. 

For businesses, this means early and rapid response to fires, reducing damage and danger to life. If you’re interested, Pacific Power can help design and install these systems, ensuring they’re ready to act when a fire is detected. 

• Fire Alarms: Early Detection Saves Lives

Having a fire alarm system is like having a watchful eye that never sleeps. Loud alarms and bright lights from the system alert everyone to evacuate quickly, potentially saving lives. These systems, which can be audible, visible, or both, alert occupants immediately upon fire detection. 

Pacific Power provides installation services for these alarm systems, ensuring they’re in sync with your building’s layout. They can also connect alarms to sprinkler systems or other fire safety measures, creating a unified defense against fires.

• Fire Extinguishers: Empowering Immediate Response

Immediate action can prevent larger crises in minor fires. When a small fire ignites, having a fire extinguisher at hand allows for immediate action, which can mean the difference between a minor incident and a catastrophic one. 

Available in various specifications designed to handle different types of fires—these extinguishers enable trained personnel to respond swiftly and effectively. 

Pacific Power supplies a variety of extinguishers suitable for any type of fire your business might encounter — electrical, grease, or general. They also offer training, so your staff knows how to tackle fires quickly and effectively.

• Fire Suppression Systems: Advanced Solutions for Sensitive Environments

Fire suppression systems offer an effective alternative for environments where water from sprinklers could damage sensitive equipment. These systems utilize chemicals or gases that smother the fire without leaving residue or water damage, perfect for protecting high-value or critical infrastructure such as data centers, laboratories, and archival storage rooms.

Pacific Power can consult to find the best chemical suppression solution for these sensitive areas. They’ll ensure seamless installation, protecting your valuable assets without leaving any destructive residue from the firefighting process.

• Fire Suppression Foam Systems: Tackling Flammable Liquid Fires

Foam fire suppression systems work wonders for places at risk of liquid fire disasters, such as airports or industrial sites. These systems spread a foam blanket over the fire, cut off the oxygen supply, and smother the flames.

Pacific Power is skilled in installing these systems that quickly spread foam to smother flames, cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply. You can depend on them to equip your facility with this specialized protection, offering a tailored approach to your fire safety needs.

• Fire Doors: Critical Barriers in Fire Containment

Fire doors create a stronghold in your defense against fire, actively impeding flames from spreading across the building. Having these in your establishment can buy precious time for evacuation and emergency response. 

Pacific Power can provide and fit fire doors with the correct fire-resistant rating, ensuring they form an effective barrier and enhance safe exit routes in case of a fire.

• Fireproofing: Building Resilience into Structures

Building resistance to fire through fireproofing is a long-term safety investment. Pacific Power can apply fire-retardant coatings and install protective blankets around structural components. 

This strength against the onslaught of flames helps keep the building intact, preserving the infrastructure and, more importantly, the individuals’ well-being. They’ll assess your building’s needs to offer the most robust fireproofing solutions.
