As
a first line of defense against fire,
the facility incorporates the use of a
Very Early Smoke Detection Alarm (VESDA)
system. This system uses laser scanning
technology and is 4 times more sensitive
than a typical smoke detector. In the
event of a fire, this early warning system
allows personnel to proactively search
out the source of smoke and take immediate
action before the fire has a chance to
spread. The VESDA system is paired with
the Fire Master 200 (FM200) fire suppression
system, which suppresses the fire and
does not damage electrical equipment.
Backing up the FM200 is a pre-action dry
pipe system zoned to release water only
to the affected area.
