FAQs about Fire Suppression Systems

At Brothers Fire & Security, we specialize in fire suppression systems in Maple Grove, and over the years, we've been asked a lot of questions about these systems. We wanted to share some of the questions we get the most, as well as our typical responses.

Q: What are some types of fire suppression systems and how do you determine what system to install?

A: A few different types of fire suppression systems are on the market today. One of the most popular types is a wet fire suppression system. This is when water is sprayed from a sprinkler head onto a fire in order to quickly extinguish it before the blaze spreads. Each sprinkler head is individually activated, so you never have to worry about all of them going off at one time.

There are also clean agent fire suppression systems. These systems use a chemical to extinguish fires, and these chemicals are usually environmentally friendly and they evaporate without leaving a residue. Clean agent fire suppression systems are used in buildings or rooms that house sensitive equipment, artifacts, artwork and other fragile items.

Q: Are fire suppression systems worth the money?

A: Yes! Fire suppression systems are proven to save lives and save money. A lot of the time, an insurance company will not insure a commercial property unless there is a working fire suppression system installed. Spending some money on this type of system gives you invaluable peace of mind too. If the worst happens and a fire does break out, it will be quickly extinguished and the chances of it hurting anyone or causing extensive damage are very slim.

Q: What sets your company and your fire suppression systems apart from the competition?
