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.
