Fire Hazards in High-Risk Facilities

Cold Chain Risks

You work in cold chain facilities that keep goods cold. These places have special fire dangers. The cold and special machines make risks different from regular warehouses. Things like cardboard and polystyrene can burn fast. The insulation in walls and ceilings can catch fire easily. Electrical systems run a lot to keep things cold, so problems can happen more often.

Here is a table that lists the main reasons fires start in cold storage:

Cause Category	Explanation
Combustible Packaging Materials	Cardboard boxes, polystyrene trays, and pallets can burn and help fires grow.
Heat Sources	Bright lights get very hot and can start fires.
Electrical Equipment Faults	Problems with wires and lights cause many fires in warehouses.
Refrigeration Systems	Ammonia in cooling systems can make fires worse if there is too much.
Operational Risks	Forklifts, hot work, and arson are big reasons for fires in these places.
Fire Suppression System Issues	Sprinklers can freeze or get icy, so they may not work well.

Cold storage places also have lots of airflow, which brings in more oxygen and makes fires harder to find. Dry air helps fires move fast. Dangerous refrigerants and lithium-ion batteries make things riskier. You need fire detection and suppression systems made for cold and tough places.

Tip: Check your fire suppression systems often to stop ice from building up and make sure they work well.

Data Center Risks

You run data centers with important servers and information. These rooms have lots of electrical equipment, which brings fire dangers. Fires can start in server rooms from broken hard drives, bad wires, or hot lights. Cables under the floor can break and help fires move up. Control rooms and UPS rooms can have bad wires or batteries that let out dangerous gases.

Common fire sources in data centers are:

• Power distribution equipment, which starts most fires.

• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), which cause small fires and smoke.

• IT equipment, which can get too hot or break.

• Human mistakes, things left behind, and arson, which are not as common but still risky.

One fire in a data center can cost a lot of money. For example, a fire in a bank’s server room caused over $1.2 million in damage because of downtime and fixing data. Many banks never open again after a big fire. Fixing everything can take months and cost more than good fire protection.

Using advanced detection and suppression systems in your data center helps stop expensive problems and keeps your data safe.

Fire Safety Solutions Overview

If you run cold chains or data centers, you need Fire Safety Solutions. These places have special dangers. You must use good detection, strong suppression, and passive protection. This keeps people, things, and work safe. Tyee gives you Fire Safety Solutions that work together. They help you find problems early, act fast, and stop big trouble.

Detection Systems

Early detection stops small fires from getting worse. New Fire Safety Solutions use many tools to find fires quickly. In cold chains and data centers, you need detectors for smoke, heat, and flames. Spot-type smoke detectors, like photoelectric ones, work well in data centers. They help stop false alarms and find fires early. Air-aspirating smoke detectors, like VESDA-E, check air all the time. They warn you before you see smoke. These systems protect server halls, battery rooms, and under floors.

Tyee’s fire alarm systems use smart detectors and clever computer programs. They read signals fast and change when the room changes. This is important when temperatures or airflow go up and down. You can see live data and get alerts in seconds. This helps you act before fire spreads.

Tip: Put detectors under raised floors and above ceilings. This helps you find fires where wires and machines can get too hot.

You also get help from smart monitoring tools. Cameras and sensors watch all day and night. Computer vision and deep learning look at pictures for fire signs. This lowers false alarms and helps you act faster. Automatic systems can sound alarms and start suppression right away.

Suppression Technologies

When a fire starts, you need systems that work fast. These systems must protect important equipment. Fire Safety Solutions for data centers and cold chains use clean agent gases, like FM-200 or Novec 1230. These gases put out fires quickly. They do not leave a mess or hurt electronics or goods. They stop the fire’s chemical reaction or take away heat. Oxygen stays safe for people.

Water mist systems are another choice. They use tiny drops to cool fires and lower oxygen. They use less water than regular sprinklers. This means less water damage, which is good for data centers and cold storage. Hybrid systems mix gases with water mist for better protection and less mess.

Here is a table that compares suppression technologies:

Technology	Advantages	Considerations
Clean Agent Gas (FM-200, Novec 1230)	Fast, no mess, safe for electronics	Costs more, needs tight rooms
Water Mist	Less water, little damage, good for nature	May not work for all fires
Inert Gas (Inergen)	Safe for electronics, no water mess	Needs special nozzles, upkeep
Sprinkler	Cheap for less important areas	Water can hurt sensitive items

Tyee’s controllers and system links ensure suppression works quickly. You can configure these systems for each part of your building, making sure the right response happens in every area.

Note: Test and check your suppression systems often. This makes sure they work when you need them.

Passive Protection

Active systems work best with passive fire protection. Passive Fire Safety Solutions use strong materials and smart building plans. These slow down fire and smoke. You make fire zones with walls, doors, and barriers. These keep fire in one spot. This gives you more time to leave and lowers damage.

Role/Function	Explanation
Fire Separation and Zoning	Walls and doors keep fire from moving around
Extending Evacuation Time	Strong materials slow fire, giving people more time
Smoke Control	Sealed doors and walls keep paths clear of smoke
Protecting Structure	Coatings protect beams and columns from heat
Sealing Penetration Points	Sealants block holes around pipes and wires
Reducing Repair Costs	Barriers limit damage, so repairs are faster and cheaper
Compliance	Meets rules and safety laws for risky places

Use fire-resistant insulation, coatings, and sealants on walls, ceilings, and cable holes. These keep escape paths safe and protect your building. Tyee’s emergency lights and signs show people the way out. They help even if smoke or power goes out.

Remember: Passive protection works by itself. It does not need to be turned on, so it is always ready to help your building.

When you use detection, suppression, and passive protection together, you build strong defense. Tyee’s Fire Safety Solutions help you follow rules, protect your things, and keep your business safe from fire.
