Why Special Hazard Fire Protection Systems?

Did you know that nearly half of businesses closed by fire never reopen? Members of FSSA specialize in special hazard fire suppression systems that keep businesses from becoming a statistic. To understand why there is a need for special hazard fire protection systems, it is important to understand what a ‘special hazard’ is. Special hazards can be defined as, but not limited to:

Any area containing equipment or processes of exceptionally high value.
Any area containing unique or irreplaceable assets (museums, archives, art galleries, records storage).
Any area or process where the revenue produced or its function is of greater value than the equipment itself.
