Protect Critical Equipment from Fire and Downtime

Modern facilities depend on data and power continuity — but battery rooms and server centers are also some of the highest fire-risk environments.With electrical loads, lithium-ion batteries, and sensitive electronics, these spaces require specialized fire suppression systems that extinguish flames without causing equipment damage.

At Fire Protection Technologies, we design, inspect, and service clean agent and CO₂ fire suppression systems for Vermont’s growing technology, telecom, and energy sectors.

💨 1. Understanding the Risk

Battery charging and power systems generate:

  • Heat buildup from overcharging or short circuits

  • Hydrogen gas accumulation in confined spaces

  • Electrical faults that can lead to thermal runaway

Traditional water-based sprinklers can destroy sensitive equipment — that’s why clean agent fire suppression is the preferred solution.

🧪 2. Clean Agent Systems for Sensitive Environments

We specialize in FM-200, Novec 1230, and CO₂ systems designed to suppress fires rapidly without leaving residue.

Benefits include:

  • Safe for electronics and personnel

  • Zero-residue, non-conductive agents

  • Rapid discharge for minimal downtime

  • Environmentally sustainable (low GWP options available)

All systems are installed and inspected in accordance with NFPA 2001 and local Vermont Fire Code.

⚙️ 3. Inspection & Maintenance Requirements

To stay compliant and operational:

  • Perform semiannual testing (per NFPA 2001)

  • Verify agent cylinder weight and pressure

  • Conduct control panel function tests

  • Inspect detection devices and discharge piping

  • Check room integrity to maintain design concentration

We provide complete certification documentation for insurance and regulatory compliance.

🔋 4. Custom Protection Solutions

We design suppression systems for:

  • Battery storage enclosures

  • Data centers and server rooms

  • Telecommunications facilities

  • Renewable energy storage installations

Each system is tailored to your room size, hazard type, and environmental needs.

✅ Protect What Powers Your Business

A few seconds of fire can cause catastrophic downtime.


Regular testing and inspection keep your equipment — and your business — protected.
