What is oxygen reduction fire prevention?

Oxygen reduction fire prevention is a proactive fire protection method that continuously maintains a controlled, low-oxygen atmosphere within a protected space. By reducing the oxygen concentration from normal atmospheric levels to an engineered setpoint, conditions are created in which many common combustible materials are far less likely to ignite.

Unlike traditional fire suppression, which responds after a fire has started, oxygen reduction technology is designed to reduce the risk of ignition before a fire can develop. FirePASS® achieves this by continuously supplying oxygen-reduced air while monitoring and controlling oxygen levels within the protected environment.
