WebinarsThe Fire Suppression Systems Association (FSSA) places education and knowledge at the uppermost echelon of member benefits. Not only do our members receive opportunities to boost their skill sets and those of their team via the FSSA's Training Program and FSSA Guides and Publications but also via the association's webinar series. FSSA webinars are open to members and non-members, unless otherwise noted. FSSA members who attend the live webinar can request a certificate of completion to put forth towards continuing professional development points. The FSSA Webinar subcommittee is devoted to providing members with information that impacts their operations and also to updating the industry about the association and the benefits that membership provides.

Upcoming WebinarBreaking New Ground: FM-Approved Water Mist Systems for HC-2 and HC-3 OccupanciesThursday, October 23, 2025 The fire protection industry has achieved a significant technological advancement with FM Global's expansion of water mist approval standards to include Hazard Category 2 (HC-2) and Hazard Category 3 (HC-3) non-storage occupancies. After three years of comprehensive research and full-scale fire testing, water mist technology has proven effective for challenging fire suppression applications including manufacturing facilities, convention centers, casinos, food processing plants, and schools. This educational webinar examines the science and engineering behind these breakthrough approvals. FM Global will present research methodology, fire dynamics analysis, and testing protocols that demonstrated water mist effectiveness in HC-2 and HC-3 environments. Key technical findings include suppression mechanisms, ceiling height limitations, and the physics of water mist performance in higher hazard classifications. VID FIREKILL will provide technical insights into low-pressure water mist technology, exploring droplet size distribution, heat absorption principles, and oxygen displacement mechanisms that enable effective fire suppression at pressures between 116-232 psi. The presentation will examine system design parameters, nozzle spacing requirements, and the engineering considerations for achieving unlimited area protection. Marioff will share technical lessons learned from their ongoing HC-2/HC-3 approval process, discussing the engineering challenges of adapting high-pressure water mist systems for these occupancy types, test methodology variations, and the technical criteria that approval bodies evaluate during certification. Key Learning Outcomes:
This session provides fire protection engineers, consultants, and technical professionals with in-depth knowledge of water mist technology advancements, focusing on the scientific principles and engineering considerations that make these systems effective for demanding fire suppression applications. Presenters:Jonathan Carpenter, AVP and Technical Team Manager Jonathan G.
