Why industries lose billions of Naira to fire

In order to curb the menace of fire incidence in commercial and residential areas, a device known as Mobile High Pressure Fire Fogging System (MHPFFS) has been introduced into the Nigerian  market.

Speaking to Daily Sun recently, the Managing Director of GTCROP International Limited, Ade Osoba, said the time when billions of naira are lost to fire has gone as a new system to fight fire has been discovered.

Osoba observed that the challenges facing fire services in Nigeria include lack of funds, water and equipment, which makes an “in house” industrial fire suppression option a necessity.

“We are seeing that the damage to infrastructure, assets and property already done before the fire service arrives is so much,” he said.

He said this motivated the introduction and distribution of the next generation of fire fighting systems, a unique industrial high pressure, low volume flow fire suppression systems, which produce the perfect droplet size that significantly reduces the risk of loss from fire.

The GTCROP boss said the MHPFFS unit produces ultra fine water droplets at high pressure (2900psi) which immediately turns to steam on coming in contact with fire. As the water droplets turn to steam, they expand over 1640 times absorbing all the fire’s heat energy and using all the oxygen content in and around the fire.

According to him, this brings about an instant temperature drop and the fire is rapidly knocked down (if a class A/B additive is used, the extinguish time can be reduced further). Minimal water, he said, is required for outstanding fire fighting capabilities because 90 per cent of the water is utilised. This, therefore, reduces the amount of water to be carried.

Osoba who noted that the system “fights fire in the fastest time with the least amount of water causing the least amount of damaged,’’ explained that the fire protocols adopted by any organisation will indicate in the first five minutes of any fire outbreak if the fire will remain a small emergency or become a major disaster.
