A growing number of local, state and federal ordinances concerned with the storage and containment of hazardous materials has led to the development of special prefabricated storage buildings. These secured structures are intended to segregate hazardous materials from a main facility where occupancy or the lack of proper spill containment can result in accidental injury or ground contamination. These relocatable structures can be designed in a variety of sizes with functional flexibility to suit a broad range of applicable codes. The need for fire protection in these structures is referenced in several major guidelines, including the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Fire Code, National Fire Protection Association Standard No. 30 - "Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code," and the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

Pyro-Chem's pre-engineered Industrial Fire Suppression System offers a cost effective solution for most hazardous material storage buildings. Pyro-Chem's  dry chemical extinguishing agents are appropriate for Class A, B or C fires. A careful hazard survey should be conducted to properly define the type of fire to be extinguished. Resident material in the protected area must be considered in addition to the stored flammable-combustible liquids. Pyro-Chem's system utilizes a "total flooding" protection concept as defined by NFPA Standard No. 17 - "Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systems." Underwriters Laboratories and Factory Mutual provide pre-engineered system application parameters allowing the flexibility to protect a variety of hazardous material storage building layouts with confidence. Hazardous material storage building fire protection is a special application of Pyro-Chem's Industrial Fire Suppression System. It provides a highly reliable response with versatility of automatic or manual activation.
