Benefits of a Foam Fire Suppression System
Foam fire suppression systems are one of the best available systems for acting fast in the event of a fire, and fire foam provides superior protection compared to water fire suppression systems. The right foam fire suppression installations can quickly diminish and eliminate a fire by preventing oxygen from reaching fuel sources. The foam bubbles can more effectively cover and suppress compared to water, making the process even faster. This fast action reduces the size and range of the fire, minimizing property damage and the chance that the fire reaches dangerous chemicals. In the aftermath, foam fire suppressant is much easier to clean up than powder, and it causes significantly less damage than water to your building structure, fixtures, and inventory. Commercial and industrial sites can trust foam fire suppression systems for Class A and Class B fires, and the foam itself is generally non-damaging.Contact Us at Cactus Environmental Services to Learn More About Foam Fire Suppression
