Fire protection solution for metros and stations

In busy deep metro stations or platforms, fire incidents can be disastrous due to the confined environment and limited escape routes. Evacuation can be challenging as evacuation routes easily become congested in emergency situations, and smoke can cause poor visibility. Quick evacuation is crucial for protecting people from fire and toxic smoke. A low pressure watermist fixed fire fighting system can improve the safety in stations and underground facilities significantly by either controlling, suppressing, or extinguishing a fire. The VID FIREKILL low pressure watermist system fights fires fast and effectively and enables safe evacuation and easy access for rescue workers. Further, by installing a low pressure watermist solution in a station or platform area the structural cost can be minimized due to smaller smoke extraction systems and jet fan design. The low pressure watermist system will control the fire by applying water at the fire’s early stage which helps avoid fire spread, reduce smoke hazards, and allow for safe evacuation of passengers.
