Reduced installation and maintenance costs  The Fike MicroMist fire protection system employs single fluid, and intermediate pressure, reducing...

Adjust accordingly to best suit unique incidents or the department’s protocol. Before a fire call 1) Invest in individually customized PPE that is properly fitted to each firefighter. When budget allows, consider particulate barrier hoods; light, breathable turnouts; and a set of alternative PPE for non-structural calls (this may also reduce heat stress and cardiac fatigue). 2) Stock the apparatus with decon supplies, including: 5-gallon bucket A hose with a small nozzle Scrub bru...

Water mist systems use finely dispersed water to fight fires, thus displacing oxygen and absorbing heat – combining the effects of gas extinguishing and traditional sprinkler systems. The small droplet sizes (≤1 mm diameter) significantly enhance the effect of the water used, also minimizing water damage. VdS now backs up manufacturers, as well as users with a basic product standard, systematically testing effectiveness and reliability. New regulations for Water mist systems Until no...

Manholes onboard ships or in industrial or offshore plants are generally only used from time to time. The manholes are closed most of the time and are only opened when there is a need for maintenance or other activities to be performed on the installation. Gaskets are used to ensure the steel sealing plates reliably seal off the manhole. The NOFIRNO gaskets supplied by Beele Engineering for these types of systems were recently subjected to one of the most severe fire tests possible. The fire t...
