🚧 Changing the way you store materials can change your fire protection requirements.
Warehouse storage changes involving rack configuration, commodity classification, or storage height can affect the fire hazard inside your facility. If those changes exceed the conditions your existing sprinkler system was designed to handle, you may need to make upgrades to maintain adequate protection and meet applicable requirements.
Before increasing storage heights, changing rack configurations, or bringing new materials into your warehouse, find out whether your fire sprinkler system can handle the new conditions.
Our latest article explains what warehouse operators need to know about:
✔ Rack storage
✔ Commodity classification
✔ Storage height
✔ Fire sprinkler system requirements
✔ When storage changes may require an upgrade

💧 Does water-based fire protection put data centers at risk?
It’s a common concern. Sensitive servers and electrical equipment don't mix well with water, but that doesn't mean data centers should go without automatic sprinkler protection.
Modern data center #fireprotection uses a layered approach that may include very early smoke detection, clean agent suppression, and specialized pre-action #sprinklersystem.
Pre-action systems can help minimize the risk of accidental water discharge by keeping water out of the sprinkler piping until the system's activation sequence is initiated.

Could hidden corrosion be putting your fire sprinkler system at risk?
In food processing facilities, moisture, washdowns, cleaning chemicals, and temperature fluctuations create the perfect environment for corrosion inside fire sprinkler systems. The problem? Much of the damage happens where you can't see it—inside the piping.
Over time, corrosion can:
✅ Restrict water flow
✅ Cause pinhole leaks
✅ Shorten system life
✅ Compromise performance when you need it most
Our latest article explains why food processing facilities are especially vulnerable, warning signs to watch for, and proactive steps you can take to protect your facility.
