Parking Garage Fire Suppression System
In the complex and often hazardous environment of parking garages, a dependable fire suppression system is essential. At Hazard Control Technologies, we understand the unique challenges presented by different vehicles, from ICEs to hybrids and electric vehicles. Our innovative fire suppression solutions address these varied risks, ensuring rapid and effective response. With our advanced technology and comprehensive safety measures, we protect property and lives in any parking structure.
Contemporary Fire Protection for Parking Garages
At HCT, we recognize the importance of advanced fire suppression in enclosed and open parking garages. First responders don’t have enough resources to tackle lithium battery and electrical fires, and waiting for the local fire department to come to your facility isn’t nearly enough. This is where HCT comes into play. With our reliable agents and systems, we ensure rapid and effective fire suppression that minimizes damage and enhances safety.
- F-500 Encapsulator Agent: Our eco-friendly F-500 EA tackles fires involving a variety of fuel classes, including Class A, Class B, Class D, and lithium-ion battery hazards. This makes it an ideal choice for modern parking facilities that accommodate ICE, hybrid, and electric vehicles. This agent not only suppresses flames quickly but also mitigates the toxic smoke and carcinogens that cause firefighter cancer.
- Fire Extinguisher Systems: With the growing prevalence of electric vehicles, we make sure our systems are optimized for environments like energy storage systems and garages with electric charging stations and a high volume of flammable liquids. We address thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries, ensuring our systems can handle the intense and hazardous fires that can occur.
The value we bring to your parking facility is unmatched. Our solutions are highly effective, ensuring rapid fire control that reduces the risk of extensive property damage. With our adherence to NFPA 88A and NFPA 13 standards, we ensure that your facility follows the latest fire safety regulations. Additionally, we leverage advantaged fire suppression technology to provide superior protection for any structure.

NFPA 88A and NFPA 13
Adhering to NFPA 88A Standard for Parking Structures and NFPA 13 Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems is critical in ensuring the safety of parking garages. The International Building Code standards require an automatic sprinkler system if the fire area is more than 12,000 square feet in enclosed garages or 48,000 square feet in open garages.
NFPA 88A
Outlines “the construction and protection of, as well as the control of hazards in, open and enclosed parking structures, including automated-type parking structures, other than those within one or two family dwellings.” This requires all parking garages to have sprinkler systems in accordance with NFPA 13.
NFPA 13
Details “industry benchmark for design and installation of automatic sprinkler systems, NFPA 13 addresses fire sprinkler system design approaches, system installation, and component options to prevent fire deaths and property loss.” They have increased the hazard classification to Ordinary Hazard Group 2 due to the increased need for advanced protection.
With the increased risk of EV fires, we make sure that our team adapts to the unique risks presented by these structures. Our systems not only meet these specifications but also anticipate future changes in the industry, ensuring your residential and commercial garages are protected against all fire hazards.
