Archives
A fire in an archive room can result in the loss of invaluable and often irreplaceable documents. An uncontrolled fire can spread to neighboring parts of the building, causing collateral damages, and potentially putting lives at risk.
Fire Hazard Causes for Archives
Electrical equipment failure is a leading cause of fires in archives, stemming from a variety of factors such as inadequate wiring, outdated equipment, and overloading of circuits. Such failures can create significant hazards that can be exacerbated by the high-density storage of flammable materials in archival environments.
Maintenance work, including welding, cutting, and other construction activities, can pose serious fire risks if proper precautions are not taken. Such work can generate sparks or open flames that can easily ignite flammable materials and cause significant damage, making it essential to carefully plan and execute any maintenance activities in archive environments.
Vandalism, whether intentional or accidental, can also contribute to fires in archives by causing damage to electrical systems, heating and cooling systems, and other equipment that can create fire hazards. Even small acts of vandalism can have serious consequences, making it important to maintain a high level of security and vigilance in archive environments to minimize the risks of fire.
Fire Suppression Challenges
Staff safety
Archive rooms may or not be staffed. Regardless, it is important to have proper emergency protocols in place to ensure the safety of all occupants in the event of a fire or other emergency.
Room layout
The shelving layout in an archive may have to change over time to accommodate the organization’s needs. However, any changes made to the room layout will pose a challenge for technologies which are designed to meet a specific room layout and may require substantial costs to accommodate for any modifications.

Why FirePro.
Leakage
FirePro fire suppression technology is capable of handling small openings in the enclosure that can lead to agent loss.
Compactness
Thanks to their compact size, FirePro generators are an ideal solution for electrical cabinets, as they can fit inside the panel, providing direct protection. The smallest generator in the FirePro series has dimensions of 32 mm (diameter) and 180 mm (height).
Easy to install in new or retrofit projects.
FirePro generators are an "all-in-one" container and are equivalent to the agent storage tank, piping, and nozzles of a pressurized gas system. They are installed directly in the hazard enclosure, without the need for additional space for the system.
