Special Hazards

When traditional water-based fire protection systems are not sufficient for safeguarding sensitive equipment, opting for a Special Hazard application becomes imperative. These systems offer a safer alternative, reducing the risk of water damage to high-cost equipment, minimizing electrical conductivity due to high voltage equipment, ensuring uninterrupted operations and protecting valuable assets.

NFPA covers special hazards in various standards. Here are a few of those code books:

• NFPA 11 – Standard for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam
• NFPA 12 –Standard on Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems
• NFPA 12A – Standard on Halon 1301 Fire Extinguishing Systems
• NFPA 15 – Standard for Water Spray Fixed Systems
• NFPA 16 – Standard for the Installation of Foam Systems
• NFPA 17 – Standard for Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systems
• NFPA 1A7A – Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems
• NFPA 2001 – Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems
