Systems & Equipment
Emergency Lights and Exit Lights are battery-backed lighting devices that come on automatically when a building experiences a power outage. These are standard in new commercial and high occupancy residential buildings.
APS FireCo Technicians while on site performing Fire Extinguisher or Kitchen Suppression System inspections can inspect, test, repair, and replace Emergency Lights and Exit lights.
Emergency and Exit lighting are required to be tested annually to assure the battery is fully charged and will perform as required. All APS FireCo Technicians carry a battery annalizer to prevent from turning off power for the 90-minute test requirement. Technician vehicles are also stocked with the most common batteries and bulbs.
APS Fire can do the following...
- Fire Hose Inspection and Testing
- Recharge of Fire Extinguishers
- Fire Extinguisher Inspection, Testing & Training
- Recharge of Systems
- DOT Hydrotesting
Used properly, a portable fire extinguisher can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or controlling it until the fire department arrives.
APS FireCo can provide you with both hand portable and wheeled fire extinguisher units to meet any application you may have. You should, however, choose your fire extinguisher carefully. A fire extinguisher should bear the seal of an independent testing laboratory. It should also be labeled as to the type of fire it is intended to extinguish. Additionally, the fire extinguishers must be large enough to put out the fire. Most portable fire extinguishers discharge completely in as few as eight seconds.
There are five basic classes of fires. All fire extinguishers are labeled with the classes of fires they can put out. Below are the five classes and the types of fires they control.
| CLASS | TYPES OF FIRES |
|---|---|
| A | ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES Wood, paper, cloth, rubber, many plastics, etc. |
| B | FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS & GASES Gasoline, oils, paint thinner, dry cleaning agents, propane, natural gas, tar, etc. |
| C | FIRES INVOLVING LIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT |
| D | COMBUSTIBLE METALS Metal fires involving magnesium, sodium, potassium and sodium-potassium alloys, lithium and lithium alloy |
| K | KITCHEN FIRES Fires in cooking appliances that involve combustible cooking media such as vegetable or animal oils and fat |
APS FireCo is a leader in implementing wet chemical fire suppression systems for kitchens.
We often use the Ansul R-102 Restaurant Fire Suppression System, which is an automatic, pre- engineered, fire suppression system designed to protect the following areas associated with cooking equipment; ventilating equipment including kitchen hoods, ducts, plenums, and filters; fryers; griddles and range tops; upright, natural charcoal, or chain-type broilers; electric, lava rock, mesquite or gas-radiant char-broilers and woks. The system is UL Listed under UL standard 300.
This restaurant fire suppression system is a pre-engineered, wet chemical, cartridge- operated, regulated pressure type with a fixed nozzle agent distribution network. It is listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).
The system is capable of automatic detection and actuation and/or remote manual actuation. Additional equipment is available for mechanical or electrical gas line shut-off applications. The detection portion of the fire suppression system allows for automatic detection by means of specific alloy rated fusible links, which, when the temperature exceeds the rating of the link, the link separates, allowing the regulated release to actuate.
The Ansul PIRANHA™ Restaurant Fire Suppression System is also an automatic, pre-engineered, fixed, fire suppression system designed to protect the same type of cooking equipment listed above with the R-102 System.
The system is a dual-agent, pre-engineered, fixed, automatic fire extinguishing system developed specifically for improved fire protection of commercial restaurant cooking appliances, exhaust hoods and ducts.
When actuated, the system discharges a fixed amount of proprietary wet chemical agent followed by water through the same nozzles. Water is provided by a connection to the potable water supply. Advantages of the dual system over single wet agent systems include: (1) more robust suppression of hostile fires in protected restaurant hazards; (2) greater hazard area protection with less wet agent; (3) faster flame extinguishment and securing of hot fuels such as cooking shortening; (4) overlapping protection of cooking appliances from fixed nozzle spacing, allowing appliances to be interchanged freely without changing nozzles; (5) more rapid cooling of hot fuels and appliances to prevent re-ignition; (6) simplicity of design and installation.
The addition of the water discharge significantly aids in increasing and prolonging the foam blanket generated by the wet chemical agent. The longer retention of the foam blanket allows the hot grease to cool well below the auto-ignition temperature. The water spray portion of the system is provided by a connection to the potable water supply.
