Firetrace provides reliable, cost-effective automatic fire suppression

Firetrace International 's automatic fire suppression systems were developed in the 1980s as a means to protect critical enclosures. Today, Firetrace systems can be found in transit and military vehicles, wind turbines, fume hoods, electrical cabinets and laboratory applications focusing on the protection of micro-environments, targeting the heart of the fire.

"Since the 1980s, more than 200,000 Firetrace systems have been installed worldwide," says Firetrace Director of Marketing Scott Starr. That includes more than 10,000 military vehicles currently deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, protected by the same fire suppression technology available to municipalities worldwide.

Firetrace is headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz. In 2008, the company opened an additional sales and manufacturing facility near London and distribution offices in Singapore and Australia.

"The need for a reliable and cost effective fire suppression solution is necessary to effectively protect the passengers and assets of municipalities," says Starr. As many as 2,600 bus fires occur each year, and significantly more go unreported, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. Of these fires, 60 percent are a result of mechanical failure or heat source failure in the engine compartment, with 24.2 million annually reported in direct property damage because of these incidents, according to the National Fire Protection ­Association.

"It is essential to protect critical components in vehicles to reduce injury, increase business service and reduce financial loss; Firetrace has a proven track record for all three, receiving reports of two successful fire saves each month," says Starr.

Firetrace offers a unique approach to vehicle fire protection, which utilizes proprietary linear pneumatic heat and flame detection tubing as the method for successful detection in even the harshest of environments. The system's detection tubing is routed throughout the engine compartment and nearest the highest concern for engine fires, including the turbo and electronics. In the event of fire or extreme heat, the linear detection tubing will rupture, triggering the specialized valve to immediately release ABC dry chemical powder through strategically placed nozzles in the engine or dash of the vehicle.

The polymer detection tubing is able to withstand extreme temperatures, dust, debris, vibration and routine engine cleaning. Frequent cleaning produces large amounts of steam that can trigger traditional fire suppression solutions.
