Firestopping… Is It Important?
The facts are startling when you realize that on an annual basis, we experience roughly 488,000 structure fires in the US, resulting in over 3,200 deaths and more than $11.5 billion in property damage. (1)
When you hire KMI Fire, we will install critically important “passive” fire protection systems, a proven science that works in concert with active life safety systems, including fire alarms and sprinkler systems. When all of these code-required items are employed, we can help “containerize” fire to the smallest possible area, allowing time for persons inside the structure to safely exit the building.
Firestopping saves lives, reduces injuries, and reduces the amount of time it takes to repair the damage to the structure, bringing the building back to life in a shorter amount of time. Contact us to hear how we can help you with your current or upcoming project.
